Well, i've pushed myself to the absolute limit physically, trying to get this damn thing sorted out.
So far, i've done nothing of consequence, barring an oil change. Could i get the filter off? NO.
I needed to drive 73 miles (round trip), to pick up a tool that would fit on the Toyota...
If it is...i'm not too worried, as long as the HG hasn't gone between the water and oil jackets. I have a whole engine gasket set here, and a set of ARP's that i was going to use for my monster build.
Bit of an update. Thought i'd introduce you guys to a colonial favourite; Kedgerie.
Normally, the recipe calls for smoked haddock, but i use slightly cheaper fish (without bones!).
You'll want:
Two bags of boil in the bag basmati rice (enough for 4 people)
Three eggs
Pollock or Cod...
Unfortunately, the weather is holding me back from doing anything - although i have a covered, concrete work area, the insane wind, and freezing rain is making working on it a distinct impossibility - doubly so seeing as i'm supposed to be taking it easy after surgery.
Drove it again this...
It's sold....but at a price conforming to 'how much can i get for my soul?' - all oil/fuel/petroleum is massively taxed here. In the name of being 'green' of course. Shitty 20w50 isnt a problem (cause most of it stays on the shelf), but even 5 litres will set you back $20.

It's cold here - like, cold enough that in the mornings, theres frost on the...
This is on the blue d/d auto, not the new red monster (the one in the buildup gallery).
Oil pressure at cold, is just over 20psi, on a freshly started engine, thats been sitting overnight.
Now, i know that the spec is 4.3psi on hot idle...and thats about what i have, maybe a little more -...
Heh - i rarely play any games on it - i use it more for either folding@home, or as a media extender for my 37" Samsung 1080p.
The only four games i have, are: Lego Star Wars, Wipeout HD, Dead Space (which i cannot play on a controller), and Pain.
