Pathflunder....

So once I actually got started, things just rolled together. Pieces came out, new ones went in. Put the sombitch in gear and go.

As you may have known the bolts were pretty well broken off in the block. Joe had the idea of using a left handed bit to pull those suckers out on their own accord. And of course it worked like dream. Too bad theres no way reach said bolts with american designed mechanical pieces of crap. Ive said enough.

But just look at how nice that pops out. 1, 2.

And heres the new ones, in place and ready to go. I have the bad habit of tightening the bejeebus out of engine bolts, thus stripping them. So for this round on a purely worthless vehicle, I kept my monster pipes on easy and just loved them in there. I bet they fall out.

Note all the grimes and grease on everything. I believe thats going to play a part later....

Weve got some rust. Weve got some chunky burly rust. Weve got some missing parts too.

We also have a complete gasket kit. New. In the box. Minus the parts I lost. I really dont care. At the same time, since I was thinking about actually starting this beast up, I thought itd be nice if I checked the oil. The dipstick was in all ways black. Black, chunky, nasty. I hate to put 5 bucks into this thing, but it looks like Im gonna have to change the oil at some point.

So this is another one of my first videos. Unfortunately I think I had my finger on the mic the whole time (again). So I didnt make another one. There are a couple funny happening in here, especially if youve never seen the beast before. Enjoy!
