1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Well duh. Wouldnt have given them the car back if it wasnt 100%.

 

Mine is the valve covers and collects right where yours is. It just runs down the side of the engine from the passenger and driver rear on mine. It's been doing it since July. I ordered the parts from Camelbak Toyota in November. I've been waiting weeks for the valve cover grommets/washers to get in from another dealer since Camelbak doesn't sell them. Should've just got Fel-Pro on Amazon.

 

I've been putting it off . It's been done once before but this time, I'm going to do it. Wonder if I could get by doing the passenger side only (?). Driver side is dry as a bone.

 

good to know. I was about to put together the list again and send it off to gunny.

 

My valve covers were leaking a while back, turns out my bolts were loose. I tightened the bolts a little and the leak stopped. I'm hoping they stay put till spring when it warms up and I'll pull the covers and change the gasket. You might check them, it could get ya by for awhile.

 

I don't see why not. If it ain't leaking, why bother it now?

On four of my cars (now only two), before I switched to FelPro blue, the VC under the intake plenum would always be the 1st to start leaking on the exhaust manifold. The burned oil smell would always make its way into the passenger compartment.

 

yep, did that. passenger side was loose. didn't want to tighten too much since it would've just crushed those silly designed seals even more. worked for a bit but now its leaking again. thx though.

 

payback for the MOPP comment yesterday? lol.

 

I wish I would've gone this route when the divorce happened. I made a few poor decisions when it came to my divorce. Granted, folks(obviously myself included) generally don't make good decisions when information is withheld from them. It's why I have huge thing for making sure people have the most accurate info they can before making a decision on anything, however trivial it may seem

 

Woooo, house is sold. All cash offer too. 20 day close. Time to clean it out and move the kids out. Both of them are grown. No more free ride.

 

Lucky 13 Don for sure.

 

Nice! Congrats on wrapping it up! How long did you have it on the market?

 

7 months thru rex realtors

 

You doubted me? I mean I don't blame you. This was literally the brainchild of 5mins worth of lucid thought between the two of us. I saw it on a private Z group on FB and showed him after seeing it was in Salinas.

 

Whoa! Much longer than I would've expected. Then again, market has been cooling.

 

My saving grace is, I didn't buy a house when I was with the ex wife...though I did invest a lot when I helped pay her tuition.

The house I'm renting out now will continue to house my "father in law".

I had mentioned splitting with my girl; we've been together for 8 years and I've grown close to her family. I'm not going to suddenly kick my father in law out and have them figure things out on their own. He's 82, and has a ton of health issues. I'd rather have him live it out there with my ex (but still, best friend) tending to his own garden while I rent my own place.

 

Speaking of, I ordered a rug lol couldnt find anything locally that I liked.

 

4 door long bed with a 4 runner front end

 

you've got heart bud. good for you for sticking with them. family is family - by marriage makes no difference. Only way I would walk is if they intentionally screwed me.
