Glad your uncle is fine Az. Hopefully his arm will heal quickly.
In other news, bought an $85 stud extractor set today off of the tool truck that didn't work on that bolt. I did manage to get the bolt out by hammering a socket onto it and just wrenching it off like I should have done in the first place. Head gasket set has been ordered and will be here tomorrow. I will be buying a new head bolt tomorrow as well as setting up a deer stand and setting some bait out. Saturday and Sunday will consist of me refinishing the block and the head in preparation of the head gasket and hopefully installing the head gasket. Once that's done I will be throwing the timing chain back onto the sprockets without actually taking the front cover off like I ought to. After I get everything back bolted together and torqued to spec I will be connecting a fuckload of connectors that I hope I remember where they all go to. The fun part is going to be figuring out where all of the vacuum lines hook up at due to me being pissed at the car during disassembly and cutting every single one of them forgetting that a diagram for them is next to impossible to find. FUN FUN AND MORE GODDAMN FUN
tl;dr
hope azion's uncle's fine, getting car parts, setting shit up for deer season very late (rifle season opens up saturday), and hopefully fixing car
