One 12 pack would take care of it but you'd have to help me drink it. Did you read my gas gauge diagnosis sticky,?
The old Holden 4speed is basically the same box with the shifter levers on the other side (for right hook cars ). Used to think nothing of bench pressing them out and in as a younger fullah - not so much now in my 50's. An old friend showed me a picture when I was about twenty rockin my yellow ZigZag t-shirt - I had muscles back then. Gaskets - way back when I took an old power hacksaw blade and made 3 gasket scrapers, one for the shop, one for me at work and one for home. Still got one 30 odd years later and swear by it a lot more than I swear at gaskets . It has gotten a bit shorter over the years. Oh yeah, removing sound deadening & underseal - hate that s#*#t
I did actually, and I fully plan on following that process to see if I can fix it whenever the heck work/family/life allows me to go tinker with it. I'm thinking sometime around 2027 or so.... And when have you ever known me to help drink a 12 pack??
I like the electrical problems, I like the body work, rebuilding motors. I think it might be the cleaning and waxing that I don’t like. Odd I know.
I have a new worst job after tonight. Putting on 4 50 ft rolls of header wrap on a set that is already installed in the truck while laying on the ground outside in your dirt lot driveway next to your garage, because you've got the intake off the truck and don't want to block your good cars in for a month if things go wrong, which they already have...... EDIT: Oh, and that stuff is awfully itchy for what it's supposedly made of.....I don't know if it's the titanium or the lava rock I'm allergic to.......
The job i disliked the most was pulling the timing cover off my motor atleast 6 times, once, the first 2 times were easy. But every time after that i destroyed the threads or had a bolt break in each of the last couple times i had it off because of the old aluminum. Didnt have the money to buy a new cover then like i do now just havent put a new one on till i finish the rest of the car. So there are washers, rtv gasket maker/sealer, and missing bolts my timing cover to this day. And has never leaked a drop to my suprise. Other than that, theres nothing i hate about restoring a buick, i love every bit of it
