1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Finally set the timing on the AMG. Torqued it down and turned the motor over a couple times only to find the intake cam wasn't returning to where it should. So, overnight new bolt and try again....

 

Someone is stoked for his first evening walk in 7 days

 

Shit you guys are back?

Days flew by quick.

 

I am so glad my circuits are so basic .... I think I set 12 parameters on my VFDs and never need to touch a plc.

Although it's been 2 yrs since I have, I'm getting rusty

 

Yup just landed this afternoon, been a long day lol. We were there 4 whole days not counting the to/from travel days. Definitely went by too quick

 

So much neck

 

He's a necky boi

 

I get asked occasionally why we keep him in a harness all the time and not a regular collar, with this dude's giraffe neck it's a necessity. His long ass neck is practically wider than his head so he can slip out of a collar with ease


not to mention the harness is much easier to control his size/strength with when his prey drive kicks in

 

Harness didn’t work with mine. Fuckers dont even care about the spike collars

 

SO i did buy the chinook. clean arizonia title and all.. 350 ended up being the deal.


didnt even make it home and sold it for 600 to a friend that wanted the dash. LOL he bought the whole truck for the immaculate dash. so... nice


hes going to make it run and drive and pass it along with his old dash. lol

 

I couldn't do the spike collar in good conscious lol, Dex is really good about staying next to me 95% of the time walking but when he sees something to chase there's just no talking him out of it. He'd probably pull a spike collar until it punctured him

 

They sell the plastic lob ones. Never tried them.
The gental leaders work well but my dogs knows how to take them off no matter how tight i make it

 

@Empty_Lord any idea why a cam would move off time after rotating the engine a few times? It was locked in position and timed correct prior to rotating it. Seems odd and I'm not sure what I did wrong. Same process worked on the driver's side.

@eon_blue has he throw the collar before? I've kept our dogs pretty loose, I can remove venices without unbuckling it but never have I seen her wiggle out of it. Its 2 finger minimum on the other two.

 

which mark are you looking at? on the pulley right? not the belt

 

Did you have any issues picking him up? "I don't want to go Dad I like it here"

 

Not a 5vz. Crank was set to where it's supposed to be and the tools lock the cams and pulse wheels. Torqued everything don, removed timing tools and now it's off by about a tooth. Can't figure it out. Maybe slack in the chain? While complicated, dohc are rather straight forward, I just can't figure out how it could change once things rotate around. Oh well. New bolt and I'll try again.

 

He did once early on, yeah. Wife was getting him into the house when he spotted a squirrel and pulled backward slipping right out of the collar and bolted across the street, didn't have it super loose either. That was when we got the harness

Nope, he about knocked me on my ass when i went to pick him up. I think he enjoyed it but he's definitely glad to be back splayed out around the house

The cats aren't so thrilled, they had a nice reprieve with him gone for awhile lol

 

chain? if the tensioner relies on oil pressure and has a ratchet mechanism on it, the chain slack will throw timing off unless you let the tensioner out

 

swarmed by felines now
