Yup. If I were to run something like spacers, thats something I would never cheap out on, nor take any shortcuts. Not that I dont have confidence in my abilities, but due to the fact that Ive been putting a ton of miles like theres no tomorrow, I think spending the extra cash on the proper wheels is worth it. If not just for the time it would take for me to having to keep checking torque.

Agreed, if you can get the setup you desire without having to use spacers then do it. The more extra parts the more points of potential failure. My main set of track wheels are 18x11 +18 square and I run no spacers and I still check the torque frequently lol.

That's if the beach hose is still standing. :eek:

Believe me, there are other states worse. :eek:

You only seen part of it. :tup:

I need to stop being lazy and get my extended rear studs on the car. The Rays make it seem sketchy-ish but theyre still good. Although i plan to get some 5mm spacers, maybe custom 8mm ones to have them sit a little more flush, and to get some extra track width out of the rear end.

:ugh2:
Getting ready for another 7-7 ,,,hopefully more prepared. We supposed to do this through about Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I hear the wind whipping a little outside & beginning to rain a little at times.

PBJ & a mug of coffee.
:yum:

Coffee tastes pretty good with a peanut butter sandwich.

Supposedly; this thing is gonna turn back down towards me? We’ll see.

Party time?

What you just said.

Preach.

Lazyboy livin' :rock: I picked up Dragon Quest XI video game and a large Mt. Dew. Party time indeed!

Mine will be here Monday.

Hell yeah. 4 kids gone. Just Mrs. BoneZ and I with the baby. And he'll be out all night. Score.

Cant argue with that. :tup:

Mini rant. Someones trying to start unneeded drama at work. Tried going the long way around to tell my boss that i basically haven't done anything today, i.e.... try to get me in trouble. I keep a log of everything i do, as does all the software i use to test / change stuff on the units.

Basically send a nice big spreadsheet of the items, with serial numbers, time stamps, and actions changed ect in an email. Come Monday im curious to see what happens.

Im a pretty lax dude for the most part, but crap like this gets me tilted. Once i find out who did it im going straight to HR and filing harassment. If i wanted drama like this id be in college, not working at a medical device company at my age.

You guys ever have to deal with BS like this at work time to time?


Rant /end

Yep. **** dont change, even in settings where people should be above petty BS. If you arent pulling your weight, good chance managers know. This tattle tale BS happens in our office from time to time and I stay waaay out of it when HR sniffs around. Thankfully I am the only one in the office at night.

You're going to get it before it turns north. Then I'll get some of it. :shakes head:

:rofl2:

This is nothing. I've worked in places that didn't uses knives to stab you in the back. They used hatches and axes. I still got the scares on my back. If they find a weakness. They go for it. Character assassination. You learn to keep your azz covered. Sounds like you are doing it already.

Oh yeah. Specially if you work in a corporate environment. You need to have your head on a swivel to make sure nobody is trying to stab you in the back! I work for myself now, but I still see people who work for my clients deal with this crap. I see whos trying to screw who, but I keep out of it and let it play out..lol

It gets really bad when the azz is a climber. They don't care who's feet they break on the way up. :shakes head: What's nice is if they have to depend on you to stay here. Then you can play games with them. :rofl2:

Look up Peter's Principle. :rofl2:

Start of the weekend repZ. :tiphat:

:tiphat:

Detailing the engine bay and found a good bit of residue on the driver side of the block. Any cause for concern?

Is it wet or dry?

:ugh2:Could be coming down from PCV valves; be ready to install catch can’s

:yum:Waffle House on order:yum:

Well the car hasn't been run in several months, so it's definitely not wet. Dry but greasy I guess is the best way to describe it. Very similar to what my steering rack looked like before I had it replaced.

If that is the valve cover gasket. It might had some seepage.

Catch cans are definitely on the list. Almost bought those $60 ones in the FS section. But I want the Arc radiator reservoir combo :yum:

Inspecting closer, the residue definitely appears to be in higher concentration around the rocker cover and gasket (Items #15 and 16 on page EM-51 in the 2011 FSM) rather than the PVC hoses. If some seepage is to be expected and you don't see an alarming amount, then I will clean it off and monitor it going forward. But if I need to do something, it's probably something that I can do at the same time as the spark plugs.

You just might need to tighten down on the valve covers a little bit.

:eek:
When you pull upper plenum to change plugs; look at oil residue that collects inside it.

:yawn:

Nice to have found some time to work on the Z lol

Z1 2-piece rotors installed :D

Bailed on the brake ducts and SPL FUCAs. Likely will bail on the oil cooler, too. Various odds and ends still need to be buttoned up before she's roadworthy. It's been so long, I need to make sure she still runs ;)
