brian (mr. Bring His Own Food And Eat It In Front Of Everyone!)

Lmao. It's good to hear you guys got it running. How long did it take?

[ChampCoupe]

Lmao. It's good to hear you guys got it running. How long did it take?

it took longer than we wanted bc of the running to get parts we didnt have and needing to eat and get some rest. but roughly we have about 12hrs give or take a few. i stopped counting around 3am

[Brandoncb7]

See if Mr bring his own food would have brought enough for everyone you wouldn't have had to stop to go get it.

[TypeG]

if i had bought them what i was eating, they would have fell asleep on the car because i had BBQ ribs. lol. sorry to eat infront of you all and leaving my plate in Stacey's garage. later.

[Brandoncb7]

Lol. I had no clue they were talking about you. I never knew your name though. So how far did you guys make it with the swap......then you see a pic of them with bbq sauce and grease all over them knocked out in the garage lol.

[MikeW]

You FL/GA/TN guys are awesome. Im envious. I wish everyone around here had this kind of comradery.

Boy, for being so clean, Brian sure sounds like quite the messy guy...

[brownhornet]

Thanks to all that came out, even those that didn't share their food. Yes the engine is in, but we need to finish connecting all the accessories. I just got home from work and I'm wiped. So the completion of the swap will have to wait until tomorrow. I have a few pics of the event and I'll get those up hopefully sometime tomorrow. This was the second swap that I was a part of, and I do feel quite fortunate that through this forum I have met people who would go out of their way to help me out.

So, You done yet?

I slept from 3pm sunday to 11:30am monday. lol w/ a few wake ups here and there.

[brownhornet]

Oh yea, I'm done. Give me a call.

[TypeG]

that doesn't sound to good stacey. is there something wrong? later.

[brownhornet]

Yep there's a bottom end knock. I'll try changing the rod bearings, if that doesn't work, then it has to come out.

[90Cb7sleeper]

We will do whatever it takes.

[brownhornet]

Thank you sir! I'm checking all my options to see what the best plan of action is at this point. Once I make a decision I'll give you a call so we can come up with a timetable for the reswap swap.

Just swapping the bearings out might not fix your problem. You have to measure the clearances to make sure you have no further problems.

Also, your oil pump might be on its way out.
