Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

I'm not much of a Chrysler fan anymore. Even more when i seen the robots they are using as of late. Just don't trust them. I'm a little biased on my manufacturing equipment though. Everything is built to a specification so I guess they would be fine.

17hrs for two 8lb (before trimming) pork roasts, little longer than I expected.  They about didn't get done in time.

Hmm, I'm going to be doing an 8-12 lb next weekend. Need to be ready by 11am Saturday.

Also want to do ribs. Think I'm gong to do ribs the day before then grill them when I pull off the butt.

I would do them 85% of the way the day before and then an hour before service throw them on top of the pork butt to heat slowly, then when you pull the butt and ribs off get the egg ripping and burn off the membrane and grill them a bit.

Remove 4 bolts on the exhaust, 2 engine mount bolts, 2 power steering pump bolts, and 2 AC compressor bolts, disconnect 2 main wiring bulkheads, 1 fuel line and lift it out.  It literally can be done in a couple hours, then again on install.

It takes me 3 hours to pull and replace on my snowmobile.  I realize there isn't that much more, but it sure seems like a lot more when you haven't done it yet.  Either way, nice work :)

Takes me 3 hours to change my oil.  You are a wizard as far as I'm concerned.

No need.  You disconnect the shocks and lift the hood as far as it will go.  Plenty of room for a cherry picker.
