..... And Reese's Peanut-Butter Cups......
So howzit bra?
It's 1:00 in the am.......
The bad:
Well it's 1:00 in the am.
I think I did close to 80 hours at work this week. I haven't done that in probably 10 or more years. I'm beat.
And to top it off we had house guests from Portland up until Wednesday. I like them, it's just when I got home from work I just wanted to go to bed and they wanted to party..... Ughhhhh.... Burning the candle at both ends. We had a retirement party for a guy at work on Thursday, and just taking the time to stop for half an hour I wanted to just fall asleep.
The good:
Well it's 1:00 in the am.
I think I've had about 12 beeeeeeeers tonigt. I lost count like 3 beers ago.:cheers:
But I put on my big boy panties and went to work.
Changed out the valve cover gasket. It was leaking. Took about 1/2 an hour.... That was easy!
Then I took on the infamous oil filter adapter o-rings. They was leaking too.
I read up as much as I could about the process here on
..... Pssshhhh, What a bunch of crybabies. Everyone talking about how hard it was. Breaking tools, breaking bolts, breaking knuckles. Talking about using heat or breaker bars or having a buddies help..... Wimps.
I swear it took less than 20 minutes to R&R the adapter. And that included stopping to piss out a beer then hitting the fridge for a replacement.
Seriously tho, I couldn't have done it properly without all those here in who tackled this job before me.
So to all of you who have done an adapter o-ring replacement, I raise my beer to you (what is this # 14? 15? ooof...)
Reason being, is I read what everyone else went through and came up with a custom tool that I made that simply popped the bolt off first try. No grunting, no hassle, no broken bolts, no skinned knuckles.
Look for it in the for sale section in a couple days....
Easy peasy lemon squeezy....
Of course while I was there, I had to do an oil change.
OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! ......And I found out what that horrible grinding noise is whan I turn on the A/C..... My idler pulley bearing is going tits-up! YAAAAY!!! Oh well it's an easy fix....
Anywayyyyyyyyyy.... I'm off to get another beer while the heep cools down so I can start on flushing the cooling system. Got a very small leak in there somewhere as well. Gotta fix it. I might get to bed before 3 am.
I love working on my Jeep. This is the most relax-i-ment I've had all week.
Again thanx peeps for all the input.....
So what did you do to your Jeep today?
Or to put it another way.... How many beeeeeers have you had?
