so visiting my parents decided to put some parts on that old dusty engine that been covered for a year now...so i put on the timing kit, turbo, currently making a mount for the wastegate, im gonna fab up a drain hole in the pan for the turbo return, I actualy wanted to see if i could get the engine back in the bay but i might run out of time. I noticed im missing the oil thrower up front, i dont remember taking it off so im pretty sure it never had one since i bought it...So if any of you have a spare one lemme know please. Well thats all, im still looking for a house n garage to get this heap closer to me so i can work on it over winter...i truly gotta say i missed working on it...and before i even touched the engine, i open my tool box and slam my nail in one of the drawers and pinched a piece of skin off with the pliers...ahhh let the good times begin.

 

w00t!~!!213243@!#!@!@ Wecome back.

 

It was weird, I was literally just thinking about what happened to Skully.

 

you just got home and its already getting close to snow times.

glad to hear the car is still around.

 

yeah actualy i was on lease site and it snowed twice....crazy. Im just here till tuesday i guess ill try and do as much work as i can, just gotta find that oil thrower somwheres. im actualy excited about seeing the engine back in that bay lol.

 

hey nice work! get that thing going again, its been too long. progress is a beautiful thing

 

man how long has it been since your 280 ran on its own power.. too band you cant spend more time on her... well its good to see your at least working on it again.... good job skully

 

well man not only is the distance where it is a huge issue (i have lots of time its just the cars not close to me) but also any freaking part that i need i have to order, its actualy starting to **** me off. So once i start wrenching i find out i need something, well now i gotta wait 2-3 weeks for the lil part to get here...by the time it gets here i slack off and get lazy.

 

snow? huh? what? some one say my name? lol

we missed ya skully, whats the dilio on the car? we need pics we all forget what your junk looks like. lol

 

lol got the wastegate mounted worked out better then i tought...tomorrow ill see about bolting on the exhaust and intake manifolds...still gotta do that oil pan drain and i dont know what im gonna do about oil thrower, could i get something made up as an alternative like a washer looking type thing...it will still throw oil, i dont even know what the stock one looks like actualy.

 

i think that thing is just used like a regular washer isnt it? on a car with a timing belt its just there to help keep it on the gear. its been too long since i did one of those. i dont even know if i got a spare

 

well thats the thing i dont remember pulling one off at all of my crank so im pretty sure it never had one...ill see what i can conjur up im sure it can be made

 

pretty close...the fronts all done, tomorrow im gonna bolt up the oil pan...i wanna buy a new oilpump and flywheel/clutch set and then she will be pretty much good to go! to put inside the car but untill running time...who knows lol...at least ill free some space in the garage. one thing i noticed is i think i got the wrong timing mark plate...first it doesnt bolt into the 2 holes its suppose to be in and when i put the engine at TDC it doesnt line up with the notch ill take a pic tomorry...right now ITS WOW TIME YAY!

 

well done my set of days off...going back to Whitecourt, and picking up 2 new tires for the bike on the way there still some riding left...BUT thats not the story...here it is...almost there, i did lots i think over this set.

sorry for shitty photos, lighting was bad and flash made it worse so i didnt use it..

 

that is one pretty engine there man! sexy as hell!
