shit, that would be EASY to get around here.

1k a mo take home would be approx 1250 a mo gross which would be ANY pay level min wage and up as long as you were full time...and a job like that (not sure on exact wage) would probl be 10-11$ an hour and maybe 30/wk? which would gross you ~$1260 which is about 1k take home

shouldnt be too hard for you to find that around here...at all

 

[YelloEye]

Just dont wanna struggle with my bills man, and I'd like to be able to pay of the credit cards sooner rather than later.

[Cobalt Tom]

sooooo sore from car this weekend hahahaha
its fixed
its at clear image auto beign used for r&d
after timing it i found out the hard way (almost 5 qts of oils) when it puked all over the driveway that i needed a new crank pulley seal

got that all done and its good to go now...havent got on it hard...still running a bit low on the oil pressure at an idle after a long warm up, but better then before.

i may get some dyno time out of this r&d work though....

What is clear image doing with it?

 

[Cobalt Tom]

What is clear image doing with it?

clear image is making a downpipe to go with a pace setter header

he had asked if he could borrow it...and obviously since its clear image its exhaust work of some kind...and they may want dyno sheets of what they are working on...either way ill have some vids when i get it back
im running on my stock crank pulley till i get mine back from mrz (they ahve to updatet he lower shaft...was wearing through).

im also still running low oil pressure at an idle trying to figure out if it is just thin oil (royal purple 5w30), the fact that im measuring head pressure(already accounting for the lower pressure from the block) or if there is a leak somewhere....
only leaks that could cause that are:
valve guides (replaced seals...but these may be bad)
piston rings
oil pump.

it only runs low once the oil is really warmed up...so im thinking its NOT the pump...


any ideas please chip in!

 

[huckernage]

it more a low blood pressure you have

here the cure:
put the key in and start it up.
make 10 burn out
5 WOT 1-2-3-4 gear

everything should be back to the normal

lol

lulz, i wish that was the issue! haha

i might try mobil 1 full synth this next change and see if there is any diff...one bad thing about the royal purple...it breaks down FASSSSSSST

5w 30 from penzoil or castrol it the same viscosity.

what is your reading (psi).
where the psi should be according to you?

at start idle they are at approx 60psi
if i take off close to right away it will get to 100psi+
over the course of about 30-45min, through driving and idle it slowly creeps down ( i expect it to lower, but not this much)
after about 30-45 min it will be at approx 0-5psi idle and 15-20psi to the head, although i havent driven it much past that (dropped it off) and this is pretty much the same issue i had before replacing the valve seals and it would get down to 5-10psi while driving and 0psi idle

it could be the gauge also...but it doesnt seem like it as it works and then slowy will "wilt down" to low psi
