Unhappy Requesting T.I.T. for 4/20/08

Well, I pulled the intake and pan off to hunt down the mystery knock, and with the help of John D., we might have found the culprit.

Rod bearing #1 on the left, #5 on the right. This is only 250 miles. Looks like we have a brand new block that wasn't cleaned properly.

I'm very lucky something didn't go REALLY BAD!!!

I'm requesting the T.I.T. for next Sunday to pull the new 427......damn.

Let's do a late pull. About 3:00 PM. I have a bunch of stuff to do Saturday; borrow everybody's tools, Dallas guitar show, community hazardous waste collection day. Then I'll finish un-hooking everything Sunday morning. I'll leave pulling the tranny and engine for Sunday afternoon for T.I.T.. It should take less than an hour.

Hey Sam, do I need to come pick up the hoist Saturday?

Thanks you so much Kristen,

I re-read Steves post about 5 times trying to place some meaning with his subject. Whew, and then you come in and start to post about a graduation and I was really confused. I know it doesnt' take much to confuse this Okie at this stage of my life.

Get everything fixed...I am. We will see you all at the Shelby meet in a few once I get all my little grimlins fixed....

Clois

Miles came up with the acronym. Sammy dubbed himself the Nominal Project Planning Lead (N.P.P.L.) of T.I.T.

Hang in there Ed & Clois,

Ya have to get up pretty early in the morning to keep up with us north Texas folks.

Just remember Sam always wants to be "up front" as the N.P.P.L..

I am a full fledge member of T.I.T.. But I am Sad About Grudgingly Yanking the engine again. Wait......that's a S.A.G.Y. T.I.T. member. (Sometimes I just crack myself up)

We've done two installs, and one pull in my garage alone. That's a record!! One install was the lift, but it still counts.

Sorry K, I didn't mean to steal your thunder.

I guess I am the official T.I.T. taste tester. The food taste tester, just to be clear.

Steve,

You need to call John Ross. He is the official T.I.T. hoister.
