January 7, 201411 yr Car started! Fucking TANK! Just hope it keeps going. Temp gauge said it was -23 out. wind chill is -43. I thought the oil was frozen too. Good thing I have another engine in the barn.I have microwaved quarts of oil to get a car to start at sub zero temps.I remember the days where everywhere you parked had a plug in for your block heater.

Good thing I have another engine in the barn.I couldn't even get the hood open on my wife's van. Froze shut I suppose. The release cable wouldn't even budge.
January 7, 201411 yr LOL! I bet this fuckin' head weighs more than the soldering iron. I can't put this thing down. I have a massive nicotine buzz going, but it tastes so damn good. I'm vaping Highbrow Vapor's cinnamon at 18mg of nic and it is amazing.Gangster work out!Agreed.
January 7, 201411 yr If she wasn't so slow that'd be sweet. Realize the cultural gap there, but nice try anyway
January 7, 201411 yr Ha, the skid for my snowmobile is on my kitchen counter and the engine in pieces above the ovens. Garage growth ftw.
January 7, 201411 yr Hoping I get a few parts tomorrow. I have a trip on Friday and am waiting for parts on both sleds. Riding the new one would be super sweet, but basically no chance in hell unless I seriously over pay for some tie rod ends.
January 7, 201411 yr Ha, the skid for my snowmobile is on my kitchen counter and the engine in pieces above the ovens. Garage growth ftw. Atleast you are in the warm.
January 7, 201411 yr Which I will gladly do IF the rest of the sled comes in. That or yank them off the wives sled, lol.
January 7, 201411 yr Ha, the skid for my snowmobile is on my kitchen counter and the engine in pieces above the ovens. Garage growth ftw. Atleast you are in the warm.Definitely warm. Drank a bottle of wine instead of working on it. Of course all I can do do is undo all the bolts, locktite and torque to spec. It's been "built" for a week or so. Missing a two clips as the rest I needed came today.
January 7, 201411 yr Now if my wrist pin bearings would land I'd be really happy. I'd LOVE to put the pistons on the motor as that gets it "done". Then bearings & seals for the chaincase and it'll be 90% together. New gauges should land tomorrow so I can rewire it. Starting to get excited.
January 7, 201411 yr And feel really stupid I waited to start it. I thought I was selling my house though and really couldn't have 2 stroke parts in my kitchen.
January 7, 201411 yr I am also not so good at keeping things neat when I work. Every night I work means another night of cleaning up re-organizing. It is what happens when there isn't enough space and you don't have the parts you need though.
January 7, 201411 yr And feel really stupid I waited to start it. I thought I was selling my house though and really couldn't have 2 stroke parts in my kitchen. Just tell them you like Steam Punk style.
January 7, 201411 yr Every bearing has been replaced, every bolt on any articulating section has been replaced with one of appropriate shoulder, all custom BS has been cleanedup, but DAMNIT I want to ride it. Actually had a shit ton of fun riding Sat on the wives. First time in a few years I haven't been alone and not leading. Had TONS of time to fuck around on every bump, road approach, field, cornice and whatever I wanted to play in. Riding with someone slower and letting them go first is fun.
