I made this spring compressor tool out of some 3/8 steel plate and a hf c clamp

and then used some 3/8's ally plate with two holes drilled in it

 

[Torchie]

Nice job on the clamp. [

I think it was the number 8 cylinder seals that were the bad ones, letting the oil in

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

Two at a time. I wouldn't have thought of that! [cl

I added 18 inches of 3 inch exhaust pipe to after the y-pipe, I cut down a few inches off the y-pipe

motor is no longer blowing oil out the exhaust

I killed the right side o2 sensor, it was covered in oil

only thing new on the truck is that I ran out of welding wire when welding the pan hard bar on...….

and I ordered more wire and picked up a small roll at home depot


and I ordered a 20 gallon s10 blazer fuel tank, it will be here Tuesday

picked up more metal to make new mounts for that
