The part where I give up

I'm not saying run it with a leak, I'm saying find out before tearing into it. wouldn't be the first time I disassembled something only to find no evidence of the problem I thought was obviously there.
Plus a little tongue in cheek bubba humor.

He’s looked at the obvious. Running a blowproof can with a block protector makes things difficult to see behind without tearing stuff down.

I watched my best friend in the world sign his death wish with this one when his wife came out with her new shirt on...

"You think the dryer did this"

"No, i think the refrigerator did"

I fuckin DIED right there in the kitchen. I feel bad for laughing but FUCK was that funny
 
My mentor and retired Navy Master Chief, George “Skip” Debaun, once told me…..

“Bobby if you want to own a race car, you’re gonna have to learn how to work on a race car.”

That was in 2004. I still don’t know shit, but I think about those words everyday.

Rest in Piece Skipper!

I have faith in 89’. I’m certain he was just speaking out of frustration. Hell git r done.
 
I think regardless of leak status, the general consensus is that i should have done away with the star washers on my flywheel.

They are still on there, because i think the internet is full of drama queens and wankers.

However if i do end up yanking the trans, I'll change those bolts/washers just to appease those smarter than I.

I get your point and agree. i've also been that sure and been wrong. Not lately anymore, but It stuck because causing myself work and frustration by mistake is REALLY irritating. Usually happened at the point 89 is at right now.

Oh I'll get her done. I just have to remind myself that a car forum is NOT the place to attempt to do research or ask questions on a problem that i run into

Find the leak, no disrespect to the guys saying to run it. I’ve yet to see an oil leak go away. Oil on the clutch, yeah that’s bad, oil getting under the back tires when you have the loud pedal on the mat and that 275hp is at full song isn’t a good recipe.

275HP? You talking about your starter motor?

Mine was a Chevy Monza. Two quarts of USED oil every fill up, weekly. Put the oil I drained from the tow trucks in it. Ran for 185,000 miles.

Chevy Vega... burned/used a quart of oil whether I drove it or not.

What part of Virginia (West Virginia?) are you moving to? My best friend's husband is in that neck of the woods... he's cool, a crew chief for one of the Bimmerworld Racing cars, he'd help you out if you're anywhere close. He's cool to hang with, too.
