I used the bucket a lot myself.. I was able to save some of my stuff. But not all. But have learned from that, & also have new host, plus I have my stuff backed up as well.
Today , I’m going to the_shmoo’s to reassemble his wife’s 2007, 2.2 the valves and gaskets are in so we will start in in that this morning, I purchased a valve tool for the Ecotec
Today, we just enjoyed a drive to Chippewa, and a walk along the Niagara River, it was cool at 44 degrees F , but a hot coffee afterwards warmed us up! Then we stopped at a friends farm for cabbage , Sweetie is Hungarian, so she be making cabbage rolls for supper tomorrow night!
I have not been to the Falls' in years When we did go did not have passports so could not cross over to Canada But now have passport and passport card so will have the card when I travel when the border opens again !
You said your wife likes cabbage ,
My mother loved cabbage l.. she was German so many meals with cabbage and potatoes !!
Has you ever tried Kimchi ?
It is Korean If you and her like spicy you should try it ! Spice ranges form mild sweating to smoke coming out your ears lol
FMG, you take care! Batten down the hatches and all that!
We got the valves replaced and the head torqued down, reset the balance shaft chain and reinstalled the timing chain.
Used tywraps to hold the links in place! Intake dide Exhaust side! Ensured the timing chain was in the correct place , then installed the tensioner and gave it a smack to engage it, That took up all chain slack! Intake balance gear in place Exhaust balance shaft gear also aligned Balance shaft crankshaft gear aligned with the coloursed link. 8 intake and 8 exhaust valves, scrapped out, and the valve guide seals Used this handy tool to compress the valve springs then remove the valve keepers Then installed new seals and valves and used the tool again to reinstall the keepers New valves, no gaps Another cylinder And another Good thing there’s only four, eh?
Sleeper, The valves weren’t lapped during original assembly, and the carbon is cleaned off with brake cleaner spray, we just didn’t polish the head surface. It’s a 13 year old DD , it’ll be just fine!
Today a trip to take Hudson to school, then stop by the phone store, time for new IPhones, an XR most likely, not the new 12
When we did go did not have passports so could not cross over to Canada
