What did you do today to your 3/S?

I think people just like to whine.

Lol. Good one!

Wife shampooed the charcoal carpeting. Then I installed it with the charcoal cloth interior. MUCH better vs the beige leather and saves 25lbs. Mounted my lock up converter switch where cruise switch was (deleted a long time ago).

Bled the brakes. Forgot I disconnected the rear lines when I did aws delete. No wonder brakes felt bad. Oops

Since the brakes hold now. Got up on the converter in my driveway. No issues even with the 280's to get there. Made it to 3500 and 5ish psi when I let off. I'll set the 2step there and it will build some boost also. Shouldn't be a problem to do similar if I ever want to upgrade to 16gs.

Perhaps, but beige interior > red interior...even if I still haven't pulled it.

I've spent the last couple days in training..and losing keepers and dropping valves. Like a boss. Moral of the story: the tool for doing vss on car just isn't for me

Beige was also free to you which makes it better still. I paid for the cloth.

Blue point tool for installing keepers is the way to go.

I need to figure out a way to get more leverage for that blue point tool. It kills my palms from pushing down after I get through part of the head.

Main lesson learned I think was to use more than 50psi to hold the valve up..and make sure the cylinder is at tdc. At any rate, not something I need to mess with for a long time again.

Agree with familMAN: BFH.

So long as you're on the same axis as the valve stem, no issues using a BFH.

I just folded up a couple rags. Wasn't nearly as bad.

Still a pain in the ass though.

Installed '99 lifters in the '91. No more ticky-ticky!
