Cool

Family tradition to watch the Indy race every year, I've been listening/watching since I was like 4 or 5 when all of my Uncles would huddle around the radio. They are all gone now but the tradition lives on in me.

How many miles do you have on the Tahoe?
Pain to have to rebuild it but if you can find another motor to throw in then you can build one the way you want to. Torque monster on the way :twisted:

126K. Lifter going out, it is getting loud and runs really bad until it finally build pressure. This is the first SBC I've ever had issues with this soon.
Just came in from doing some fencing, man it's hot out there today. :SOMBRERO:

My mom's neighbor's 5.7L Vortec in his '99 Suburban just went out too. Must be something in the midwest air. We're thinking intake gasket, coolant mixing with oil, etc.

156K, that's pretty good mileage on the intake gasket, usually go by 100K

GM calls it "dexcool". Most people know it as Dexclog or Dexrust, or "install a new motor" the stuff is horrible. Then they put subpar materials in the intake gaskets which the Dexclog eats up and they start leaking. The S10's/Blazers are even worse as the heater core is slightly higher than radiator, this causes air pockets which speeds up the coolant in breaking down and forming clumps which clogs system. If you are lucky, they just leak out the front or back, if not, they leak into the inside and contaminate the oil. Bad part is that antifreeze loves to eat the main/rod bearing so it needs to be flushed asap.
Marlon, tell them if they are able to do a flush and get it running, make sure they use the new design intake gaskets with the metal plate in them and only a bead of silicone on the ends, not the rubber gaskets.
I changed my intake gasket couple years ago, but been fighting a low oil pressure issue which I think lead to the lifter failure. I'm picking up a used motor next weekend, once I get mine out, I will tear into it and see if I can figure out the problem. I'm figuring the cam bearing are wearing causing loss in pressure. Bet I got a damaged cam lobe too.

Nick, pretty cool having a family member playing there.

hope everyone had a nice weekend, I worked most of mine :cry:

but I finished my fencing for now :BANANA:

Okay enough of that stupid taHOE!

First day in the lab!!!!
You guys are gonna crap! :lol:

And yes the dental tools came out for this!

Notice the very top is decorated by pressing a triangular tip stick!
And obviously the punctated decoration below that...

REFIT!

Had enough!?!?

How about a part of an earthenware pipe!

That's right! This came out of the same feature! I thought it was when I found it, but being all muddy it was hard to tell. Oh and this is VERY VERY VERY rare! It's only a fragment but you can tell it had a figure or design on it!

V E R Y C O O L Chris!

More pics

Nice work Chris! Does this find support your theory about aliens teaching the native Amercans about smoking?

On another scientific note. A car was engulfed by flames this morning in the garage where I thought park....the fact that it happened on the third floor while my car was parked on the fifth was not very reassuring when I saw smoke billowing out of the garage just afew spaces from where I parked. I couldnt tell what floor the fire was on at first! You can find a pic of the burnt car if you look up a car fire at OSU.

Crispy car isn't it? Don't think a wax job will fix that one

Wow so very interesting Chris! I would love to be able to hold that kind of stuff and just try to imagine who, what, where and how the history of the piece.
Does it appear the people had to leave quickly or was it "garbage" they left behind? A true history mystery, I love it!

Dealing with Union and the Agency
also with Doctors and Medical Insurance
Then cable was out so talking to the cable company
also setting up some automatic payments so when I am out for a few weeks won't have to worry about the payments
So all in all a very stressful but entertaining morning so far

Is the going rate on MOABS still up around $150 each? And are there any wheels that look like MOABS in a 5 by 4.5 that aren't actual MOABS? I may have found a good deal!

Ted15 · **Posted:** Wed May 30, 2012 7:12 pm

I don't know but I found a set of five that were powder coated and he's selling them for the cost of powder coating. I'll give you the info if you want it, I don't have the cash right now. $600 is the price, I think. He sent a couple pics to me, man they look nice.

150 each?? :shock:

There are knock off Moabs that are sold by the offroad shops , cheaper made than the real thing
Man I wish I had loaded up on them back when you could get them for next to nothing :banghead:

Megalos · **Posted:** Wed May 30, 2012 8:44 pm

What I've found is a set of five with goodyear mtrs 245/75 for $550.

Ted15 · **Posted:** Wed May 30, 2012 8:47 pm

That's a steel if the tires are good.

That's what I was thinking. I could use them as my "offroad" set until my tall slim tires wear down.

Are the tires good ? If they are 3/4 tread at least that would be a deal
Check them careful since original MTRs cup real bad
When I bought mine they had MTRs on them, One was brand new and other two were better than 3/4 tread left. ( two were cupped so bad they couldn't be run)
Sold the 3 for basically what I paid for the whole setup :wink:
