I know I've gotta V6, but when I rebuilt my engine, the guy that bored/honed my block bought the engine kit from these guys. I'm not sure if they just deal with shops but it would be worth a try since they are local.

Well, I just got a call from Russell at MP.N and talked him into overnighting everything. Should be here tomorrow. It's coming UPS, so knowing my route, overnight stuff gets here around afternoon time. I guess we can start tearing it down and hopefully the parts will be here after I buy some folks lunch. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Any requests for certain food or drink?

I appreciate the link! I'll hang on to 'em, but hopefully, for $42 in overnight freight, I just corrected my oversight. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

We'll see!

I'm not picky....unless you are one of those Vegens.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" />

The Checker by your place had their spring compressor already loaned out, so I am grabbing the one at the Boulder Checker at lunch today. I am also getting some grease, PB Blaster and anti-seize. See you in the morning. I promise I won't monopolize too much of Joe's time <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

No biggie guys. I'm pretty flexible. Unless I hear otherwise, I'll plan on being there 9:30-ish.

Since its a short week for me. I wont be able to take tomorrow off. So I'll have to make the next one. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You will be missed.

Joe,Chad... see ya then.

I just picked some hi-temp and blue RTV. Hopefully, UPS doesn't get here at 5 p.m. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Jason

Well, Where are the hourly updates?? If I have to sit here and attend meetings and do some work, I would like to hear how the Denver Monty/Raider-fest is going. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I stopped by around 11:30 an hung around for about 45 minutes oogling Capn's Monty while Cochese and Chad were playing with their rigs. My Montero with stock suspension/lift looked like a station wagon compared to Capn's lift. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> When I left Cochese was scrappin' gasket residue from his valve cover and Chad was loosening his rear sway.

Thanks...I'll take that as a compliment. On the flip-side, however, your's was exceptionally clean (even has chrome under the hood). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Mine looks like a pig-pen next to your's.

'Twas a great day in my opinion, although, we didn't make any progress on Chad's spring-swap. The spring-compressor he had was both too small and too long to be able to compress those springs at all. He disconnected the swaybar, and the axle dropped some, but not enough. Attempting the unbolt the shock on that side was fruitless...the bolt on bottom was absolutely refusing to budge. Also, being an upper-Midwest truck, the bolts holding on the bump-stop snapped upon removal. Might be a clanky ride until those are drilled out. Can anyone provide any tips on swapping out coil springs?

We got the fuel pump changed on Jason's Raider and new gaskets for it and the valve cover. We chose to let RTV cure before firing it up, though. Also did an oil/filter change. Next on the agenda: fine tuning and verifying fluid retension integrity (i.e., leak-status).

Was a great day! Swapped all kinds of stories and I met some really fine folks. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
