All this abuse and you still wish you never left?! :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy: Been through some hazing during fraternity pledging but obviously pale in comparison to this hahah

I don't know what this means lmao

Ah, the good ole tail of the dragon. That's cool, I'm down to do that. I'll keep an eye out on here for when that goes down. Only about 6 hours from me. Sad reality but it makes sense. I'm going to keep on looking for em though you can bet your ass lol

Just looked up the phalanx cannon and learned it fires over 3,000 rounds per minute. So, you practically were working on a bullet laser is what you are saying.. :tearsofjoy: Is the old community the blue/white page that I randomly come across sometimes when looking stuff up? There seems to be...

Is the Iraq war what you were deployed for? That seems to be a common trend. I've had several veteran coworkers and almost all of them, both younger and older, say they wish they never left.

Got me feeling spoiled af over here. Only do 9-5 or 8-4 now M-F with on call. Occasionally will get 45 or so from that. Did 12's for about a year and a half when I lived in Knoxville but still was only 40 hours total a week. How long did you do Navy? Or are you still active?

Hoping that is all that it is! But regardless definitely where I need to start from here is those few things. And sweet man! I'll give you a shout. Also, 55 hrs a week is brutal. Feel for ya lol

Alright gents. After reading through all of your guides some more, talking to ya'll, and looking over what I've got going right now the past day or two... There are a couple things I didn't do correctly. I didn't replace harmonic balancer bolt, I am missing a friction washer, I was missing a...

Problem number one I see here for me immediately is I believe I forgot to put that gasket on in the middle.... smh. Anyway, that makes sense. Do believe we missed that step making sure about cylinder 1. I guess in my head, once the TDC Pin was in, it'd just turn and hit the pin when it's...

Dude. I really think you are right about the cams. I may have them upside down.

Okay. I’ll pull all that side off tomorrow like I wanted to do today. We did crank the engine a couple rotations manually and then set it back at tdc to check they were still lined up. I used that special service tool that holds them in place. Put a screenshot below what I’m referring to...

I still have the fuel pump and everything on and that last cap so this was really best I could get. I can take it off though when I get done making dinner. Other side should be straight across just like this one though on the end. At least it was before lol

Maybe I checked the wrong thing when checking timing. Going to kind of go back to square one with this part and read through your guide extensively as we go through it. But really think that's the most likely culprit, here. Took the cover off just while looking at a few things and put the TDC...

It sounded like a gunshot. like it was coming from the exhaust like it back fired.

Looking over stuff again this morning I found two bolts that were in the wrong spots on manifold/fuel rail. Flipped them to the right spots and tried to start it for shits and giggles and got one loud bang and that was it. First time I’ve heard that but idk if it’s a good or bad sign

That sounds like a grand time. lol. I remember dad doing stuff like that when I was growing up

hahaha yep, exactly. In the middle of the mountains. At least it's pretty. I appreciate that. Manassas isn't that bad but it's still about 1 1/2 hrs away lol.

Agreed. When I got home and tried to turn the car over for shits and giggles the battery still had charge and it went like normal. It's a duracell battery that I took out of my fusion I've been using as a daily

Autotech HPFP upgraded internals was on the mod list so I have to assume that it was upgraded. I'll have to take it back apart to get a picture of what I am talking about and will do that tomorrow morning. It sat over top of the spring and you could push up on it to compress it in. It might have...

Could it mean that the fuel pump internals are going bad, potentially? When we took it off, the little piston cap thing inside had fallen out. I don't know if that is indicative of an issue with the internals or if it just kind of slides off like the tappets.
