Long valves on W2's with .600 lift?
Nope... too busy with work. 14 hour days are killing me.
Tried to go to the speed shop on Monday but my car wasn't up to it. I loaned it to my grandson for an errand...he made it about one mile and the car quit moving. Trying to get an idea of what's wrong from a 19 year old with zero mechanical ability was frustrating. Sounded like an old problem resurfaced... bad MAF sensor. I asked "engine running?"...his reply "how can I tell?". So I came out to to get him going again but the issue was the transmission was empty!
Found the two "hoses" that were scabbed on the trans cooler lines sometime in the past had come loose. Never had an issue before. When I was headed home to fetch some trans fluid I saw the problem... a big splatter of oil at the stop sign and a trail of oil all the way back to the car.
My Buick has a broken motor mount. Never is an issue during normal driving. I guess he must have tried to "peel out" and the engine lifted off the mount and pulled off those hoses. Seven... count 'em...SEVEN quarts later it's back on the raod. And working OK.
Guess it's time to install the new mount that's been on the shelf since July!
