FASTiva Blown Head Gasket -- Wat Do?

twistedwankel · Postby **twistedwankel** » Tue Feb 14, 2017 9:08 pm

I saw a pristine Black shiny Fastiva today at the bank with nice alloy wheels that engine would look great in. Probably not appreciated in the two tone Fastiva?

Gaskets and an oil filter ordered. Plus some tools that I keep saying I need. Namely, a set of ratcheting wrenches and a couple of 10mm sockets. (the little suckers seem to evaporate!)

Ratcheting wrenches. Mmmmm.....

That's funny on a couple levels. Well done sir!

Steve has the most organized garage re: TOOLS AND BOLTS I have ever seen. The stuff is actually labeled.

My garage isn't organized like Steve's, but all the parts are in. Where's that Ben guy who said he was going to take point on getting this job done?

He might be out shopping for a deal on a Honda Fit. Just saying...

They would probably charge us for hazardous waste disposal.

Kia is offering $1500 for anything in trade + a Cruise for 2 to the Bahamas. It's HUGE.

But can you see Ben and Loren on a cruise to the Bahamas?

Now can you un-see Ben and Loren cruising to the Bahamas?

I can see Ben and his lady on a cruise. Me? I gave up on boats a couple years ago. I'll spare you the vulgar expletives, but... no.

Back on topic... Ben got the oilpan on the new engine. (with all the baffles in place, properly sealed, and all that) One step closer.

Kia. Ben sees a Kia in his future AND a Cruise with his main squeeze. Am I the only one who noticed how quickly he got on board with the project? Kia Soul. Rodents. Slow Steveador.

Who's applying the sunblock in your version?

I'm disturbed at the level of thought you're putting into this.

I own a Panama hat built in Puerto Rico. I know the meaning of a Red Head. Been there bought the hat.

The "new" engine now has the "new" waterpump and timing belt installed on it. Ready to install!

We're gonna try to knock it out this weekend.
