Frankenbird Is Down For the Count.
 

parting it out. calling a junkyard or selling it whole for 5k lemme know if you want anything off of it. ill make a list later after i calm down.:sFun_crazydance:

Dude, you were serious?

You've had my wheels turning since the other night when you said that. Let me discuss with the other half after we get through this golf tourney today.




Although I'd rather you just change your mind and keep the damn thing lol.

any reason?

ummm really??? dont do it!!!!

get the sand out of ur vagina...u are not allowed to sell that car or ill beat u lol

now i need new heads. 2 of the rockers came apart completely at the tips. self guiding rockers and variable lift lifters dont mix. im lucky a push rod didnt bend. the valve spring retainers on 2 of the valves need replaced. and from the lifters having so much backlash the valves are all pitted and cupped like i ran .050 gap on a solid cam. the top end is not JUNK but needs alot of work. work i really dont know if i wanna do all over again

you shall and you will, just sit back breathe drive the beater for a week or two then retrieve the list of parts gather them all up and make the magic happen (again) ...


I see this trend all too often with you LTx peeps you get discouraged when things break (again and again) but you fight through this love hate relationship we all share, especially with our cars.

you put all that effort into that fkn car this year to let it run like a champ for what 3 months? find your manhood and grab it by the throttle body then make it your bitch.

I'll see if I can dig up some heads for you, just cool your jets for a bit.

Even if you can't save the 396, you still have a chassis built for ~500 hp. Didn't you say you wanted to get an LQ9?

We can rebuild her. Stronger, faster. We have the technology.

^^^^^^lol

dear mike,

you're such a little bitch. you're going to get the parts you need, you're going to fix your car, you're not going to sell it, and you're going to like it. after all those times i was flashlight bitch watching you pour your heart and soul into this frankenbird and now you're going to sell it!? i dont think so! man the fuck up.

ps. the next time you punch that car im going to punch you.

pss. i love you!!

^^^^^^^^^^ AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike,

If u need some eye candy to keep ur cool while working on her, let me know I will come down. Boomer says to throw him $20 for the Metro and he'll come help...

xoxo,

boobies make it all feel better.... lol

Hahha you guys are insane. I like it. But untill I. Can get heads its sitting and it make me physically sick. We'll see.

We all get that way. Just walk away, spend time on something else and get back to it when you've formulated an attack plan.

My car was parked for 18 months while i was building the new engine, don't feel bad

Want to buy a motorcycle to help pass the time? '92 Vulcan 750, 11,000 miles, $1,800. DO IT!!! :D

Jeebus, what caused that?

Don't look good does it!? Rhoads lifters teamed up with self guiding rockers=fail on all levelssss

Yeah, I see where you may have a slight issue there

wow that suckkkks definitally not going to work well like that..were tey all on the same side?

Yeah all from the passengers side. One on the drivers side started wearing out the self guide washer also. Now I'm at a loss as to what to do.

you already know what to do new lifters and top end when you can afford it

x2
you got so much time and $$$ invested its a shame to get rid of it. if you got the room to store it i'd put it away for the winter early and give yr self a chance to calm down recoup some $$$ and work on it over the winter, u no how bad you'll want to finish her come spring

^what they said

How much does it actually need? Are the heads themselves hurt or do you just need the valvetrain parts?

You have to fix it! That car is too cool, and you worked to hard on it, not to fix it.

But if you DO part it out, let me know, I'll take the headlight bezels. Mine are missing for some reason, my car looks like Johnny 5 when the lights are up.

For some reason nobody doing part-outs ever has these.

Gotta get some Steel rockers in there with guide plates.

Steel? Rather not and get a good set of comp golds I'm thinking. Maybe the LT4 GMPP's but that's after some head work again! Fuck my life.

Why not steel? They'll handle the stress etc. a lot better than aluminum will. My cam was similar sized to yours and I was told to use steel esp. with the spring pressures.

What was damaged on the heads?
