Yeah I know, but hey when the time comes can you help me with using that program? Maybe take a ride up here and hang around and have a LTx work/detail day? Maybe some whiffleball at the baseball field on my street :D

P.S. Today I didn't make any progress. Rainy weather led to work cancellation and got a lot of errands done, then spent hours polishing a scattershield for my friends DSM. Made a few bucks to put towards an alignment for the saturn :c

AIR system and y pipe are out! Wasn't bad good use of a decent chunk of my day. Next is to take out all the plugs starter and alternator off and get those manifolds off. And suggestions/tips on best way to finagle those bitches out of there?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 05-26-2010 04:31 AM

manifolds will come right out threw the top easy after unbolted

its swinging the headers back up=fail

KLAB 05-26-2010 02:52 PM

So now the manifolds air pump and everything is out! This project has gone pretty good so far just time consuming and a lot of trying to figure out how the feck to get at most of the bolts lol. The manifold bolts came out no problem almost like they were already loose lol. So far I must say the biggest pain in the ass so far for some reason was getting the oil dipstick out! Jesus of all the shit to be challenging, I got the drivers side manifold off and the passengers side one unbolted and ready to get out but the dipstick tube is there in the way of pulling it out. I tested putting in the drivers side header and itll be a piece of cake just gotta drain the oil and take the filter off. wondering how the hell im gonna do it tho if I should put the plugs in first so I don't gotta try to put them in after the headers are in or will they get in the way of the header install if I put the plugs in first...

Anyways! Now I just gotta clean up the motor and trans a bit of that gunky oil shit from the rear intake manifold leak and then get everything ready for the headers to go in. Then after they're in drop it back down off the ramps and do the intake manifold. Next post will be pics of the progress lol.
