Fixed a power steering leak and went for a ride in Bankhead Forest. Old road has been around a long time, some places it is 6 feet or more deep. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love a ride through the forest, it is truly medicine for my soul.
After watching the early NFL game I got to installing the rest of the lines and removing the old stuff. To drain the power steering I used a dremel and cut a small hole in the paper clip of a cooler and let it drain into a drain pan. Once it was...
I installed one of those Engine Guard sensors on the cyl head. I used the 'ear' that's on the intake side at the rear of the head close to #6 injector.
more so for peace of mind (good album) and took for a short drive. Temps when cruising...
Did a bunch of wheeling over last week. Installed two 9” big lion lights on the front bumper (my 80 amp alternator is having a hard time keeping up with their draw). Also upgraded my gmrs antenna to a radome bull bar type. Seems to be a big...
I have already replaced the valve cover gasket. I keep finding the oil pan bolts a little loose. Very couple of weeks, I get back under there and re torque them. I also have the gasket coming for the rod cover.
Awesome.
I would identify the source of the leak before jumping into an oil pan gasket replacement. Many things above it could be contributing to the drops you are seeing.
Looks good
I work with a charity called Boone Brothers that takes harvested deer/ turns them into meat sticks that are distributed to needy kids directly through schools. 21% of the kids in KY are protein deficient. Our goal is 250,000 packs of two sticks...
Couple pics from staging before the run started. I'm not generally a fan of large group runs, but full credit to the organizers here. They did a good job keeping things moving with 30 rigs!
Couldn't remember the last thing I've done to the 80 outside of oil changes. Checked my records and it was a window rocket 10/1/25.
Weather getting colder so it was finally time to wire up the seat heater. Only took me almost 2 years of sitting...
I made miso soup by soaking my front seat belts in very hot water. 36 years of soy sauce, coffee boss, tofu with ponzu sauce, yakatori and other japanese food delight droppings. Much nicer, and the reel in is much smoother. Now, on to find the...
Ran an 80 focused trail run in Central Oregon known as 80s on Edison. Never seen this many 80s in one place. Probably 25 80s, with a few 70s and a 40 as well. Not too many pics but here is one for posterity while we were stopped BS'ing. Good...
