Well it was very nice out weather wise for February in Germany, so I decided to get off my dead *ss and get some more car stuff done. I did my intake gasket. Not to bad. Took about 2 hours to tear it apart. Only took 45 minutes to put it all back together. I didn't have the Chevy fuel line tool, so I was trying to figure out how to get the fuel rail off and out off the way. I got enough clearance without taking the lines off. That was pretty much the only excitement for the whole project. Then I changed my fuel filter and did the skip shift mod thing. I also removed the intake down tube/silencer thingy. I also did the throttle body coolant by-pass thing while I had it apart. And I couldn't resist it so I ported and polished my MAF also. A pretty ruff job at this time. I just didn't have the time to grind the left overs down all the way right now. The car fired right up and seems fine. I only drove around the block real slow, never left 1st gear. I will have more to report tomorrow I guess. I also did a quicky wash job and put on the summer tires/wheels. Looks much better now, but I should warn all of you that means it will snow real soon. Sorry I just had to put the summer tires on. Man, seems like I did a lot more today, but I guess that is it. The next big project is the spark plugs. I can't say as I am looking forward to that. I checked them out today and they look like a real b*tch to get to. Sorry to ramble on about nothing, Peace. Hope to see some of you tomorrow.
