This statement was correct actually, I’ve been awayke for 26 hours nowWhat are you talking about
This is why I always keep a spare Pontiac 400 and a brand new crank in the box (I only have a spare crank right now because it took so fucking long for Eagle performance to get me the one that I wanted and that I needed at the time so I just went ahead and got both of them that they had) i spun bearings, not too long agoSo anyways with Cap' having his race car thought I would tell an old story from my teaching days.
Me and a very old friend both had race vehicles. Mine was usually a bike but he ran a really nice 1970 B body with a 440 wedge.
He had a group of students that he used as a pit crew. He had just had the students push the vehicle through tech check and back to the trailer when a student noticed a water leak. Slight at the thermostat housing but it sure was not going to get better.
So he gets a tube of ceramic sealer for the cooling system. He has to go back to tech to splain why he now needs to be further back in the line to fix this and rerun tech. He explains to the students that he wants them to open the radiator cap and run while to get flow past the radiator cap hole. Then work the throttle until it's about 1/4 open and dump the sealer in.
So he is waiting in line and he hears the car start. It's running for a bit and he keeps listening. Soon he hears the rpm tac up and the some kind of struggling noise and then nothing. Now what.
Well the student was given unclear advice. The last instruction was to up the throttle to 1/4 and dump the sealer in.
He dumped it down the throat of the carb.
The block was scrap as the rings had welded to the cylinder walls. The crank was bent due to going from 4000 rpm to zero in 2 revolutions. Rest of the motor was fine but man a fugin wedge motor side oiler ball of torque died from a lack of communication.
I got a shaft crank off amazon but it's a whole different thing. It is rechargeable with a number of options though.This is...
Man, I always wanted a sequential shifter
I have a wife for thatI got a shaft crank off amazon but it's a whole different thing. It is rechargeable with a number of options though.
Mine died.I have a wife for that![]()
Whoa man.Mine died.
Look at the tiny tent of doom!I need the 6’ version of this desk fuckin awesome would be way easier than moving lights up and down lol
I have to admit the only reason I rode bikes was by 1986 there were some beast mode 10.5 second off the shelf bikes with top speeds of 155 mph for way less than I could have built a car. First race to work and track bike was a Honda 1000r for 6k new. Also I did not live to race I was more of a street guy who pounded his shit on country roads hoping this turn up here is not full of gravel.......This is why I always keep a spare Pontiac 400 and a brand new crank in the box (I only have a spare crank right now because it took so fucking long for Eagle performance to get me the one that I wanted and that I needed at the time so I just went ahead and got both of them that they had) i spun bearings, not too long ago
With my little engine that could the little Pontiac 400 it’s built in a way that once you stab it and you put your foot on the mat you better keep that motherfucker there until your run is over and then you just lift and coast it all the way to your turnaround through the shut down you’re not supposed to pedal it at all and when it launched it chattered the tire so bad man it knocked every fucking filling I had out of my teethhad to replace a couple connecting rods, bearings and two broken rockers
it was gnarly and it had a yard sale,
She’s been pickled since then, but I did get the motor freshened a new crank put in it some new connecting connecting rods I had spare rockers. I got the Pistons Mic’d in new sleeves and just been finding dumb shit ive been needing to do, shes an old gal at 55 shes going through menopause and dont like fucking with no one right now
Your buddies old busted up wedge block would’ve been a really cool shop table
Cool story man cause I love fucking car stories they’re the best
And you guys that ride bikes, man, and go fast your animals I gotta have a cage, man. I gotta have a cage. I still need a sidecar for my giant balls, but I ain’t as gnarly as y’all bike riding folks![]()
See but that’s fucking awesome though I’ve got to say probably five or six times a day I think about converting that car to a street car you know just put a bigger fuel cell in it where the rear seat should be putting lights in it. Make sure that I can have turn signals And unbott the passenger door so it operates. Remove the rest of the lexann windows.I have to admit the only reason I rode bikes was by 1986 there were some beast mode 10.5 second off the shelf bikes with top speeds of 155 mph for way less than I could have built a car.

Dude wasn’t talking to you, he was talking to Jesusedit to add:
Yo man, I see in your pics, you've got some plants in rockwool blocks
If those are indeed yours, that makes exactly 2 of on here using rockwool...
Rockwool is my gig, we should be talking, not attacking ea other
Pic below is my 1st grow in over 20yrs. This setup produced over 4lbs in a 4x8 tent,
even with having to chop early bc of bud rot...
I tossed a 15gal trash bag 3/4 full of what would have been the best buds
btw Them are some fine looking plants for some new growers
I wish you the best in growing![]()
I bought it about a year and a half ago, worth the read, i know reading scripture isint everyone’s forte but I like to look into the obscure. I’ve been a conspiracy theorist since I watched those “planes” hit the towers 25 years ago

The lesser key of soloman and the goetia are crazy interesting too.The fact that it was removed from the bible and kept quiet is enough reason to want to read it.
No, the Trans Am is a true back half doorslammer car the entire front clip the doors and the trunk lid are all fiberglass but the rest of the car is all Detroit steel
And the windows are Lexanne except for the windshield, which is now actually a fucking way overpriced original 1970 Trans Am windshield that I found after my Lexanne windshield exploded when I hit a bird in the middle of a run
Turn up the audio in the video that’s me spanking a Honda with way too much nitrous and not enough heat in the tire. It was great.
The nitrous mafia, quite possibly the best part about after leaving a good show, is running into those guys in the parking lot after.Some dude just got arrested a couple of days ago at the Dead and Co. show for being in possession of 100 tanks in his trailer![]()
4 years ago. I'll try to keep it less than a novel.Whoa man..
