massive reconfiguration time again.

Yea iv made my fare share already lol! Yes the control arms are getting new bushings and new ball joints I got the lowers completely cleaned waiting on paint I think I'm gonna give them one more bath with a pressure washer before I spray them. I was gonna put them in the dishwasher but my wife vetoed that idea! Lol. Then I gotta just get the engine bay and wheel wells cleaned striped and painted so I can reassemble. Yea the bushings was an adventure in itself. I ordered everything I thought I needed before I started so I thought. After I got going I was told buy a member on here I needed to change my lca bushings also (not in the budget) so I ordered them then upon disassembly I got a torsion bar stuck in the lca ended up having to cut it out lol so then I had to buy torsion bars (not in the budget) well then on here I discovered that everyone recommended the moog offset upper bushings I bought the regular ones so I had to make another order....well you get it lol
I think I'm over the hump now tho once I get my primer and paint I should be on a roll.
Yeah crap happens. I'm on my 4th rear end. I'm on my third cam LOL I get the picture. Went from mechanical water pump to electric water pump back to Mechanical. I get the picture, need I go on? LOL
yes I've made a few mistakes that I could have avoided by listening and then also have avoided a lot of mistakes by not listening. I could have spent a ton load more money listening to everything and I saved quite a bit of money by listening to somethings. I too learned about the upper control arm bushings after I had just installed the regular ones. I left them in I'm fine.
People will tell you to definitely not warm up your harmonic balance to get it to fit. F'em...
The wife says what are you putting in the oven with the Thanksgiving turkey? I says nothing she said I see something in your hand what are you putting in there? I said my harmonic balancer she said I think not. always the ingenuitive person that I am I went to the back patio and turned on the grill and put it on top of the grill for 15 minutes and she slipped right on. F'em LOL
