I QUIT MY JOB!

But I got another one.

I'll still be turning wrenches, a friend of mine from my Toyota days bought a shop last year and needs some help. I think this will be a good change, just have some health ins stuff to work out yet.

Moving on up! Congrats and I am sorry

Thanks MC! I thought I'd be making a trip up this year again, but I haven't got much done on my projects this winter, trying to get the body work started on the J20. I got the rockers and pushrods out of my ticky wag motor, they look OK, do you think I could still have a bad lifter making the tick? I plan to pull the intake yet and take a look.

Here's what I found I got a pic posted here at IFSJA

Well you know how it is...check for exhaust leak and check lifter face.

Take a look at the link, check the pic of what I found. I did pull the intake, all lifters pulld right out on the end of a screwdriver, all faces looked good. I think what I found was in there from someone else having it apart and leaving extra parts. I had never been in this motor before, bought it with the tick, I could hear it rolling over with the starter last time I started it and had to keep priming the carb.

I got the whole wag for $500, and it had that much worth of blizzacs in the back of it.

Thanks! And I think we'll stay warm the worst of the cold should be pretty much done, but we could be in for plenty of snow yet, used my 82 J20 to push snow out of mine twice today.
