Tor you need to try this.

 

Ha. That video brings back some memories.

 

Came across a minor setback last night. I still need to cross reference the part numbers to validate that the thrust bearing is actually the one for the 1GR. It fits, but is of a slightly different design. The real problem is that when the upper and lower halves are installed, and the main cap is being lower onto the block, the ends of the thrust washer halves butt ends a good 1/8" prior to the main cap being seated on the block. Definitive NO GO.

So off to get the OEM thrust bearings, as the block and main cap are ready for them and some of that trusty JB Weld. Like Ignorantly Alberta mentioned.

 

My wife is obsessed with duck hunting! I need some boost just so I can do that! haha

 

Get a V8 NASCAR call!

 

OEM thrust bearing ordered. Won't be here for 3 more days.

 

you doing engine work this weekend, or does the bearing put you at a hault untill it arrives?

 

I will still be doing some prep to get the mating faces ready for silicone.

 

trusty old dremel coming out for that one?

 

Already has.

 

haha the duck call! All i could think of when i saw that video was this video... (great prank to play on unsuspecting friends )

The dremel has a great place in my toolchest...

 

If I were you Tor..I'd be seriously pissed. Apparently these people don't listen to what you wanted and paid for to have installed .

 

I could be. There is more to the story than that which has been told. I am actually relieved and not upset.

 

I seriously am upset with the fact that I own an Android phone, which is a Google OS, and I cannot view YouTube video links any longer. Which is also a Google entity. WTF?!

 

Oh the frustrations of the phone. My company pays for my phone and all data used...... but it's a blackberry and I lose a little more hair everyday trying to use it. Lol

 

YouTube pisses me off more and more each day really. Sometimes it forces you to watch a 40 second ad (with no skip option) to watch a 1 minute clip. The bandwidth is terrible as well, I have no idea why they would offer to stream 4k vids when I can't watch a 720P vid without it buffering (I run a hardline cable and use 70 Mbps connection just fyi).

 

I much prefer watching videos on Vimeo nowadays for that very reason.

 

Ha^. Feels like it is so true.
