Stop in for a cup of coffee

Lawns mowed, 3 hrs. of my life I can't get back and I can't even find my IPOD right now so got to hear the mower the entire time : ) That engine is hideous
 
Good afternoon everyone. I have been taking apart the car since yesterday and was back at it this morning at 0545. The guy was supposed to come over to help me adjust the valve lash, however, his water heater went bad, and hopefully tomorrow. Anyway, I am glad he didn't make it today because boy was it a struggle..................

-Yesterday, I removed the passenger shock and pulled the passenger valve cover. I have done this before, so I knew what I was dealing with. Not too difficult......
I went to pull the MC off the firewall and still did not have room to pull the driver valve cover, so left it to mess with this morning after some more research and a clearer head.

I called Chris yesterday and we talked about it.
-So this morning at 0545 I pulled the rod from the pedal under the dash( PIA, by the way, no room) I thought ok, the hard part done...............NO did not matter how much I tried to negotiate the valve cover would not fit past. Also I could not pull the MC away with the rod out of the firewall due to the valve cover blocking it.:mob::BangHead:. After a long time trying to figure a way, I was done and cut that BEOTCH right off.....................Success, MC and valve cover removed. :lol:

I have already ordered a new MC and several other parts and pieces including a bench bleed kit and a brake blled kit.
