The past couple of days have been a complete and utter nightmare, fighting a losing battle against my car. I started three days ago, changing my oil pump (broken rotor) I not only did the oil pump, I found several other things I had to tend to as well.
- Loose as fuck K member, I torqued that down the moment I noticed it.
- Loose left hand subframe... I could move it with my hand easily, also fixed immediately. I also tightened the right hand side as a precaution.
- Grinding A/C compressor. I said to hell with it and did an complete A/C delete, I never use it anyways. and hopefully without the condenser my car will run cooler.
- Two loose transmission --> block bolts, I got very angry when I had seen this...
- One loose starter bolt.
- Weeping front oil drain, re-sealed with new pan.
- Cracked oil filter housing, I put a new freshly polished one on, shortly after putting it on I put my relocation/cooler adapter on and broke the threads off into the adapter, it took three hours to cleanly get the threads out.
- Also, just after getting the oil pump on I noticed some "water" sitting in the valley of the oil pump, I thought nothing of it at the time, wiped it off and finished the job for the most part. So, because of my ignorance I now get to take everything off again and put new gaskets onto my water pump.
Long story short, if I find anything else wrong, or if anything else breaks... I'm lighting that car on fire...
