Okay everyone,
I started out with some other thoughts, but decided to put them on the bottom, since what everyone wants to know is "Did she start?!" :shock: :roll:
The answer is unfortunately No...... But after a two hour nap, I feel so much better about the whole ordeal!
She is crankin' fine, just not fully turning over. But I've put my heart and soul into her for the last two weeks, and neglected my family in the process. So after I had a good cry and long nap, the garage is closed until further notice. I can't sink anymore money into her for a little bit, so I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. I know she has fresh clean carbs, new plugs, new oil filter and oil, clean air filter, the list goes on. I'm not sure what it can be now. In the back of my mind, I wonder is the helicoil maybe off just a fraction and would that be a contributing factor??? It went in fine, I vac'd the shavings out, and that part was nervewracking, but I felt successful afterward... because I looked in the hole many times, and it was very clean and no shavings when I finished. Put some loc-tight on the new threads when they went in, and let it cure for the full 24 hours too..... Anyway, I'll check back in here periodically and bounce ideas, but right now I just have to let her sit and focus on my family.
And Finally....
"THANK YOU" to each of you that has invested time, listening ears, and a handshake, and or pat on the back whenever it is needed. Freakinout got "all sentimental" the other day about the forum and how awesome we all are, and we all said "thanks", and kept on with life. What he said though, is so true. We have the best group of people here ever! I've found many great friends on here and appreciate you all.
Ride on~!!! I'll definately catch up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink: :-D
