For Stock Rigs Only

That's good though.

 

I almost feel guilty for what I'm making.

 

Good news, bad news.

 

And a cash job...so in the Mason Jar it goes.

 

Nope

 

G'night OEMers

 

Remember I moved it.
On the rt side of my cabinet..

 

Decided to take y'alls advice and put in half a quart. Brought it right to full. Drove it to work and back (freeway) and the ticking is still there, but very quiet now. Dipstick shows full. Should be good now. I am wondering if my last change, I was shorted a little bit on oil. I was talking with my neighbor this morning (he’s like our Mike here, just for Ford...39 years as a mechanic, before that a Navy sub mechanic). I had given him a ride when I had my last oil change done and when I mentioned the clicking my mom heard (and I can hear if my window is open, have some gaps in my hearing spectrum) he said he had heard it then, but figured I did too.

Driving up to Tahoe tomorrow for a couple days. Going to be a telling trip. I’m hoping to just concentrate on my 5 year old daughter and hope for the best. Wife and brother in law are going...Lord give me strength! Means I will be doing all the cooking, cleaning, and washing my little one. They will just be consuming. BIL said he will help pay for the food, will see if that actually happens. I won’t be holding my breath. I’m sure Rosie will be nice and reliable. She’s all I can really count on right now.

 

That was a decoy.

 

Toyota's can tick for hundreds of thousands of miles with nary a side effect. (Been there done it)

 

Painted the interior of a house once... once. Never again. Folks were getting our house ready to sell and they offered me 25\hr and I said hell no. My mom ended up doing our upstairs hallway and promptly hired somebody for the rest of it. She understood my refusal then.

 

It's always easy in theory. When you actually have to do it, sh*t gets real, real fast.

I've learned that any question that starts with, "can't you just..." - the answer is always no. Sometimes hell no.

The corollary to that is, if you don't want to hear me swear, don't watch me work.

 

The 1GR is a notorious ticker. Some situations are "tickier" than others. There are days when I can hear it clearly and days where it's almost quiet. I wouldn't sweat it

 

Crap..
So now what do I do?

 

Stop changing the oil once a week.
You might be traumatizing it ...

 

anyone that works hard should never feel guilty.
It’s the ones that sit home and hold out their hands all their lives
Are the ones.

 

So bill is not a friend

 

Ahhhh
A step up over..
Way cool

 

The world ran on these things for many decades. You just have to use them, and have them set properly. My first dozen or so cars had them and they worked fine

 

I know I've said this before...But l love having a truck
