Jim's Blog: September 2009
http://jim85iroc.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A little of what I like, and a lot of what I don't. Tuesday, September 1, 2009. An interesting new twist on an old favorite childhood game. I've decided to celebrate my new-found disdain for my job by concurrently chugging 3 24 ounce bottles of mountain dew as fast as possible, and running around the office belching as loudly as possible in an impromptu game of Duck-Duck-Goose where the "goose" will be represented by the person whose cube I ultimately wind up vomiting in.

Jim's Blog: Intake Manifold arrived
http://jim85iroc.blogspot.com/2009/11/intake-manifold-arrived.html
A little of what I like, and a lot of what I don't. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Last night the intake manifold that I bought arrived. I bought this used from an individual who owns a brand new 2010 Camaro that he upgraded. The intake has 400 miles on it, and as expected, looks brand new. After my motor and clutch nonsense, this was a breath of fresh air. I got a great deal, and it came very well packaged, and looked perfect as promised. On with the pics. As it was after unwrapping it:. Links to other crap.

Jim's Blog: December 2009
http://jim85iroc.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A little of what I like, and a lot of what I don't. Saturday, December 19, 2009. On Friday we left for the inlaws' house, so I wouldn't be able to work on the motor over the weekend, so I snuck out to the garage for a couple hours on Thursday night after the baby went to bed. That rotating assembly isn't going to be cheap. :(. Links to this post. Wednesday, December 16, 2009. An ever so slight amount of progress. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). How many adoring fans do I have?

Jim's Blog: Thursday Progress

A little of what I like, and a lot of what I don't. Saturday, December 19, 2009. On Friday we left for the inlaws' house, so I wouldn't be able to work on the motor over the weekend, so I snuck out to the garage for a couple hours on Thursday night after the baby went to bed. That rotating assembly isn't going to be cheap. :(. Just as a general thing what does one do to make money with forex? Is it like stocks, or does one need a program to be able to play it?

Jim's Blog: More good news!
http://jim85iroc.blogspot.com/2009/11/more-good-news.html
A little of what I like, and a lot of what I don't. Friday, November 20, 2009. The used clutch I bought (yeah, I know.) came in yesterday. It's trashed. Fortunately the seller has been great so far and is supposed to refund me right away. Backside of flywheel. How hot do you think it got to turn purple on the BACK side? Buying used stuff is awesome!

A little of what I like, and a lot of what I don't. Thursday, October 15, 2009. And finally it begins! I've decided to use this blog to track my progress, though a number of these posts will probably be repeated on some message forums. I realize that very few people who read my blog (does anybody even come here anymore? Give a shit about my motor, but this is the best place for me to keep track of my progress. So on with the progress. Looks like it might be a while before I update this again.

Jim's Blog: Motor Tear Down has started!
http://jim85iroc.blogspot.com/2009/11/motor-tear-down-has-started.html
A little of what I like, and a lot of what I don't. Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Motor Tear Down has started! Lance and I spent most of Saturday tearing the motor down. I'd left it untouched until he got here so that we could start from the beginning. We then pulled the intake manifold off:. Here's a glory shot of it next to it's new home:. Next we popped off the valve covers and the lifter valley cover. The valvetrain looks outstanding. Everything was nice and clean under the valve covers:. Links to ot...
