Lol... actually, yea.. its been like two years since the thread began! I actually started this build in 2002, so its technically now 9 years overall that I've been working on the car. Completed it first in 2004, then started the build up again in 2005.. so its 6 years on THIS build...

I told Whit, I HAVE to finish the car by DGRR 2012. It'll be the official 10th year of actively building the car, pretty sad really... but oh well, its better than a lot of other addictions, lol.

Yeah... I've been staring at my phone waiting for a call so I can send him lots of monies :D

I've got the MC mounts as well and they're good pieces.... but.... even mine are deformed from years of siting crooked on the Banzia mounts.... (maybe I should add build new mounts to my ever growing list of shit to do? Or maybe just buy them from RPM and save a day) I'm worried that the torque created by the weight of the engine pushing down on the mount and twisting it is going to pull the bolt up and out of the mount. Will it happen? Dunno... can it happen? As long as the car is shiny side up, yeah, I think it has the potential.

I like me some Kamikazies or Baby Guinesses ;)

Oh and fuck this winters over BS... I'm going outside right now to WINTERIZE the FC :rofl:

Soooooo I'm changing it to WE3RX7's NINE year build?

Dude your such an ass!!! :7: I bet you put that in there just so I would waste hours of time looking through all your post and pictures, I have now offically memorized your FC build and I can't figure out what it is:banghead:

Ha... yea, its not in any pics on purpose, lol...

Yea, so.... is it just me, or did front hub eccentric bolts get tighter in the last 5 or so years. This is now the 3rd motor in a row that the "normal" tools wont remove it. Time for some upgrades in the toolset I suppose...

hooray for more tools!

I have a nice impact gun (I think it's 140 ft-lbs)... as well as a breaker bar... and a chain wrench... if you can wait until I come up in may I can always let you borrow them ;)

Bill, if you need any help I can break it or the iron :)

Yea... I think my impact gun is officially worthless now. It didnt even break chris' FB flywheel nut loose and its never had that problem before either.

I need a good impact anyways...


T - chain wrench is cool, but I lock the flywheel down to the engine stand (the patented 2gsl-se "lets just break an iron" method).... I was hanging on the damn breaker bar and my 160lbs ass didn't budge it!

Bill, you need to get the old lady and baby to hang on the breaker bar with you 160lb ain't gonna "get er done"

Funny thing is... went to Chris' place... put a breaker bar on the flywheel and tried holding the front with another bar, his hub bolt came loose, lol.. It seems like the older the motor, the more willing that nut is to come loose...

Oh well, no more engine work til after DGRR anyway...

Yea go figure my fat ass on the front pulley and him on the flywheel and my side came loose. :banghead:
