Ended up having to put a pry bar in the "spokes" of the cam gear to keep it from moving and popped it loose that way. I just got around to getting it all back together today and she's running great. I replaced both cam seals and that fixed the problem. Thanks for the help guys!

Holy hell...tell me the driver side cam gear isn't reverse threaded. The thing is on there TIGHT! If I pull any harder, I feel I might yank the camshaft out. Any tips? I'm afraid if I try any harder, I'll break something. And I'm not pussy footing around it either.

Thanks CyFi. I don't have a driveshaft holding tool (TSRM says it should be used when removing cam gears). Am I good to go without it? Any recommendation on something that I can sub for it? Sorry for the 20 questions...I'm sort of a cherry when it comes to anything other than basic maintenance.

Groovy. Doesn't sound like anything I could screw up. How do I tell if they're on backwards?

Wonderful. How big of a pain is it to change those bad boys?

I've been trying to figure out where this oil leak has been coming from all day, and finally found it. I popped off the timing cover and fired it up and watched it come pouring out from behind one of the cam gears. It was running down and coming out the little peep hole just above the oil pan at...

Another St. Louis guy here. I don't post much, if any around here. I'm putting together a little get together in St. Louis in October. Sunday, October 17, 2 PM Hey guys, I'm thinking a little get together is in order before the weather turns to shit. I'm thinking we meet up in the...

Are you talking about working in an actual oilfield? Or the oil INDUSTRY? What are you wanting to know?

Marry this woman. Before I go looking for her and do it first. :D

I hope you're being sarcastic. If not, learn to build your own coherent sentences before telling others to do so. I've also heard the term used in the 240sx and dorifto communities as well.

Ok, I'm officially wierded out. I just tried starting it up and she fired up just fine. So, until next time. Thanks for the input guys.

No corrosion. I just gave it a quick once over for anything obvious before I got somebody to give me a ride home. I'll check for tightness when I get to look at it, hopefully Friday.

Well I had to run up to my parents' house tonight. I pulled up in the driveway and just let it run because I wasn't planning on being there for longer than 10 minutes. Well, I got distracted as usual by my mother and an hour went by. I went outside and realized I forgot to shut it off, I checked...

Clean.

Amen brother.

Meh...

Have a better picture? One without another car in it?

I'm going to throw out a little theory I've had. That is, servers are paid an extremely low hourly wage (sub $3/hr) in order to make them WORK for their tips. If I was a server making $8 an hour, what motivation do I have to do an above average/outstanding job? I'm still getting paid. Servers...
