"The initial V8 conversion was performed by LOJ Conversions under prior ownership, and four months ago a replacement LY6-based 6.0L V8 with LS3 valvetrain components was installed, also by LOJ. Prior to installation the block was cleaned and painted, and the heads were tested for cracks and fitment. Other recent work included new front and rear main seals, an LS3 intake manifold and gaskets, head gaskets, header gaskets, oxygen sensors, water pump gaskets, spark plugs, fuel injectors, crank damper, and an Aeromotive fuel pump and adjustable fuel pressure regulator."

So they put a motor in it, then they put another motor in it, then they changed pretty much every seal and gasket in the new motor. No wonder they're selling the car, they're sick of it.

Fuckin' broke off a bolt putting my timing cover back together on the Datsun.

So here's how you get a broken bolt out.
1) Thread a nut onto the 1 thread that's left above the surface.


2) fill weld that nut.


3) try again, because that shit was ugly.


4) profit.

5) Reinstall part using the new bolt that you just made. It's not ghetto, it's bespoke!

It's a few millimeters short for that.

I also had to weld a crack shut in the keyway of the harmonic balancer before I reinstalled it, but I didn't take pictures of that. Kinda ghetto, but there are no alternatives to repairing the existing one, except either a worn out used one, or a full-out race balancer.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Full out race balancer it is

 

[Jehannum]

Full out race balancer it is

Eventually.

Just not today. I just spent $1600 on coilovers and $400 for adjustable suspension stuff for the Nissan. Not dropping another $600 on a balancer quite yet.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Psh. What are unreasonable part purchases for if not for being unreasonable?

So after a couple days of hunting, it doesn't look like there's a single 62TE chrysler transmission available anywhere in Atlantic Canada. The nearby auto recycler even has a wait list for the things. I think that's a pretty good sign that the 62TE is a piece of shit.

Considering it's an A604 with a second planetary set added to it, to bump it up to 6 gears from 4, surprise surprise.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

That sucks. What's your buddy gonna do?

 

[fly]

Filled up yesterday for $2.05, suckers.

I fill up for $20 + .02/gal.

How many hours a week do you spend managing your scams?

 

[gee]

Full rebuild :/

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Full rebuild :/

Oof.

 

[fly]

How many hours a week do you spend managing your scams?

All I did was ask. After that, its zero work.

 

[Jehannum]

I fill up for $20 + .02/gal.

What's $20 in used toner cartridges? Does Staples even sell premium, bro?
