Foxy Green Foxbody Build

[Mr. Breeze]

Only in a foxbody thread will you hear about "sucking a lifter".

This is really getting out of hand at this point.

Dickless hasn't been able to hold food down for about a week. She's lost 20% of her weight. Nothing to do with the car. But as I sit here in the vet and they're throwing out the C word im not really sure where or what to post. Thanks for listening.

Oof, sorry to hear that.

Best wishes/vibes for dickless....

 

[CCSguy]

Sorry man. Anything else I could say won’t matter. Sorry.

 

[89 Fox 427]

No one should be sorry yet, I appreciate you guys. The vet throwing that word around without knowing anything yet

 

[Steve439]

No, that was the last time I was lied to and bent over.

Tried a different forum and member this time. Same result.

By any chance is his name "Bob"?

(Not our Bob)

 

[89 Fox 427]

Not a Bob

 

[Patriot Racer]

Not a Bob

well, well, well, Fox.

Hope Dickless is doing ok. Dealing with sick and older dogs is even harder when you're a single dude,

Working 14 hours isn't helping. Neither of us are eating and shit is piling up.

Man stuff.

We'll get through it.

Jomar filters and pushrods arrived today. No idea when I'll get back in the garage though

Just a reminder to be careful when the temps get cold and using thick oil like 20/50 with a no bypass filter, it'll take too long to get pressure on a cold start up.

I run 10w40 and the coil doesn't fire until it sees over 15psi

To give you guys an idea of the tolerance I have for preload with these reduced travel lifters, they want .035" of preload +/- .010.

That means at zero lash I need to turn the poly lock nut on the rocker .41 turns (147.6°) minimum, .66 turns (237.6°) maximum.

You should see the math involved to figure this out precisely. The valve tip being the fulcrum, cold lash vs hot lash to allow for head expansion, distance between pushrod and valve tip. I had fun.

I cooked for pippin today. Ground chicken, pumpkin, rice, chicken bone broth, peanut butter, coconut oil. She didn't throw up any of it. I smiled today. I hope we're back on track. Bloodwork and x-rays tomorrow. I know she's just a dog.. but she's my soul dog. If you've never had one of those, you're lucky. Send good thoughts!

 

[Steve439]

Pippin as in Lord of the Rings?

Dogs are better than people.
Loyalty always.
I'm on 12 and 13, yes I'm that old.
1st dog you never forget.
Mike was the scrappiest, loved to fight and protect.

Yes. Dalmatians are (supposed to be) loyal but mischievous. Merry and Pippin were the definition of that.

For the ones that don't read I just say Spotty Pippen from the Chicago bulls
