Today I started at 7 and got a lot done with a little help from my friends. Rus and Matt. They got there just as I got new lifters to install. I took the collapsed one out and took it apart only to find that it had trash in it. I cleaned it out and its good. I figured I might ought to get new ones as the others may have trash in them too. I did take another apart and it was clean though. I took the oil filter off and changed the oil. I cut the filter apart and didn't find anything. Rus put my new tranny pan on my other truck Tonto and Matt and I installed the new lifters. The motor is about ready to start up again and adjust the valves. I will cut an old set of valve covers so I can adjust them without throwing oil everywhere. We also did some things to Matts ride. His truck is Fast!

I should have put the oil back in while I had the intake off but I worked around it. I put an air fitting on my new funnel and did a little at a time.

Yeah its tough when its been done once and now twice

**thelonerife** · 02-02-2013, 11:43 PM

I probably could have just taken them all apart and cleaned them but its a good thing I got new ones. The second one I took apart the clip flew out and I still haven't found it lol

I'm not sure I should even say this but I hope it flew out away from the open motor

**thelonerife** · 02-02-2013, 11:47 PM

Haha, Rus said it went towards my freezer. Its probably under it. My back was to the truck. That would have really sucked.

sduckworth13 · 02-02-2013, 11:48 PM

Cool, good to hear you got the lifter fixed. Its nice to have good friends too that are willing to lend a hand.

Yes it is. It makes it a little softer hit.

shawno72 · 02-02-2013, 11:54 PM

Man if I had some buds like that I would tell I had a collapsed lifter just to hang out

**thelonerife** · 02-02-2013, 11:57 PM

They are some great guys and fun to be around.

**thelonerife** · 02-03-2013, 12:02 AM

Oh and I forgot Matt brought me another license plate for my collection from the car that gave up the ghost. R.I.P.

5150 · 02-03-2013, 12:18 AM

Chuck, I wish I had known you guys were doing that today. I don't know if I would have been able to come up for long, but maybe for a little bit. Lizzy came home from the hospital today.

Thanks Bryan. Hope shes doin okay.

cubber · 02-03-2013, 08:32 AM

That's good news, Bryan.
I had a blast @ Chuck's today. I really like working on Choncho because the engine compartment on that truck is PERFECT. I love how original it looks. Plus, I got to hang out with my two good buddies. Thanks Chuck, for letting me come up there, and of course for the help on my truck.
