Burb work last weekend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well,
Last friday I took out the engine and trans so I could reseal up both and pressure wash the engine compartment. Came out pretty good.

Saturday,
I put in a few hours, put in new timing chain, rear main seal, new gaskets, front, rear trans seals and got it ready to re install. Then a guy came over and we took his bed apart and put in a better floor and bed sides.

Sunday,
Only took a few minutes to get the trans back in,,,,a trans jack is the best tool you can have in your shop. Then about 2 hours later everything was hooked back up. Then by 4pm the burb was ready for the wifey to test drive.

Would have posted this monday but,,,had technical difficulties getting the pics resized

Wow, it took me 2 days just to clean my engine that I put in last week. Looks good

I can't believe you would get nagged over all the quality time you spent with your burb. It's quality time, everyone should understand that!

Yeah,,,
But between my 3 classics,,,my dodge,,,and 2 kids + wifey,,its hard to split my time evenly......When I spend it in the wrong place= Nagging

Its all good though..got alot of quality time in with the burb.....Got to get back on the shortbed soon.
