Well I guess its time for breakfast now, or as some may say... go down on the meat...

I guess I just need to come to terms with it.... yes, I am a bacon whore....

Alright guys, we're past Monday, so it'll be easier going now.

Started DEI wrapping the turbo piping last night. The safety wire pliers are neat (although I did make my beer explode with them, not explaining how).

Pro-tip: Marry a woman you don't love so that she's obligated to help you wrap the pipes. That way, she'll divorce you, and you can be on your merry way. Never subject someone you love to this task.

How much blood was spilt from impaling fingers on the ends of the wire? I lost quite a bit...

Madwi made that installation look easy; it just would prick my fingers if you grabbed a pipe wrong

wrapping that **** was a nightmare by myself. Jwick had good pointers about using a clamp to hold it in place while twisting the wire.

It actually wasn't terrible once I got the hang of it. The first bit is the hard part. Also per DEI's recommendation, I lightly sprayed the wrap with water just enough to moisten it and let the fibers stretch a bit. I'd do a couple turns, lock it with the safety wire, and then finish my section before going back for additional wiring. When I did the safety wire, I left enough after clipping that I could fold it back against the pipe. Also, wearing gloves helped limit the stabbed fingers.

I'm sure when I'm lying under the car fitting everything in place, I'll look a lot more like I visited an unfriendly section of Detroit late at night while carrying obvious money.

Safety wiring is an art. When twisting the wire. Leave about a half inch of twist after you cut it. Fold a 1/4 inch of the twist against it self. Then fold that down the surface.

It helps if you have the right tool for the job. Safety wire pliers are most excellent.
