No. Took a good nap and watching the Super Bowl. I'll hook up my fuel line, add the coolant tomorrow. And clean my valve covers that I'm gonna cut to adjust the valves. i found your string if you want to stop by and pick it up and/or help. lol

[Rusbuilt]

Haha dont tempt me I may just drive up there! I actually left the string for you to keep.

[thelonerife]

I cut one of my valve covers so I could adjust my valves without a big mess. I got my cut a little too high but it still works. I will clean up another valve cover thats not dented like the one I cut and run it. I just did the pass. side. It got a little too hot to touch everything so I'll do the drivers side tomorrow. I hear a little ticking coming from that side.

[Rusbuilt]

But all seems ok?

[thelonerife]

Yeah I think its going to be fine. I will check the pass. side again tomorrow to see if anything backed off. Then do the drivers side. I shot a couple videos but the sound is so loud you can't tell that it actually sounds good.

[Rusbuilt]

Awe! Well I'm glad its running better!

[JRANGER]

Glad to hear its running better!!!

I ran the exhaust outside so I could hear better. Checked the pass. side and adjusted the drivers side. Now I need to clean up the valve covers and paint them. This video sounds about the same but she is running good. I still need to figure out whats wrong with my temp gauge. Its still pegging out. temp sender is new. The two new ones I bought do the same thing. poop..

Haha love the new exhaust pipe. Round here guys are running like 12" tail pipes on their diesels. Would love to drive by them with a tailpipe just draggin the ground

[Rusbuilt]

Yeah buddy! Good work Chuck!

[cubber]

Success!

Chuck, do you have a cheap aftermarket temp gauge? You could try that to eliminate a few areas that it might be.

Himey gave me one but the sender is 3/8''. I'm going to trace my wire to see if its grounded somewhere.

[thelonerife]

Well I went down stairs,cranked up some music, and got to it. I got it all back together with the exception of routing my spark plug wires. I'm looking at that corrected cap for 45.00 from Jegs. May wait till I get that in.
