Starting this thread to keep track of things to do, things I wanna do and things I shouldn't do (or learned NOT to do). Mainly though - it'll be a sanity rambling thread for myself to refer back to often and frequently.
Who's Leia you ask? Leia's a rescue, adopted from a fellow AT.NET/CTECH guy going on 6 years ago. She's been camping out in my garage for a while until I had the funds/time to rebuild.
With the K5 Blazer wrapping up finally, budget has opened for Leia to begin. Few years back I scored a good deal on a ST246 motor from a local importer I've used in the past. I was holding out for a ST215 but those flew off the shelves as soon as they landed. I knocked him down to the same price for the ST246 as the ST215 with a little deeper discount for cracked timing cover and no transponder keys.
Powerplant is now sitting on the stand and teardown has begun. Will be ordering a Gen4/5 rebuild kit for it to replace various pumps, tensioners, belts, yadda yadda yadda. I won't tear the head off this time, I feel that just cost me more time, effort & money to no added benefit from last time.
First up -- sending these off to Wiregap
Second up...getting the damn cat off so I can throw the shiny downpipe on.
