check your valve cover gasket... that shouldn't be expensive... it prob got too hot on the harsh drive... unless u hit something and the bottom of your block is now cracked...

It's a little piece of rubber that literally plugs into the end of your head where the cam gears are. The plugs costs about $6 and take 30 minutes to install. It's pretty easy if that's the case for you.

Who knows. Work has me stretched a bit with my assignment. I am having to cover in Hutto in addition to my other offices.

I also have something else going on with me that may render me somewhat useless (more than I normally am) for a couple weeks in the very near future. Until I get everything squared away with my doctors, I can't even pencil things in on my calendar. I may be fine with everything being taken care of in Austin, but I may be having to make an extra couple trips to Houston in the coming months.

Shoot, the scary part for the Spurs is that they were really close to getting swept. That 2 point win in the 1st game could of gone either way.

And the Spurs get some more good news . . . The Jet is from game 6! Too bad, because if the Spurs win, it'll be a crutch topic for a long time.

But boy, was a series!

OEM body kit install

Hello. I just bought the body kit for my 04 TL (hondacuraworld, of course). Does anyone, who lives in or around Dallas, and who has done this before want to install it for me? I'm willing to pay, of course. It looks easy, but honestly, I don't have time to do it...maybe with someone's help I can get it done pretty quickly.

Thanks!

COCK BALLS!!

I just got a freakin ticket-in my front yard!! I slowed down for the stop sign and made sure that no-one was coming, then went-well, turns out there was a cop just sitting there and he pulled me over as I was pulling in the driveway Gave me a ticket for running the stop sign. Turns out, I also don't have a current insurance card in the car, so he gave me a ticket for that two :furiated:

This fucking sucks!!! There was literally NO-ONE around except for him and me.

The rear main can also go out due to hard stress. Heavy shift/transfer of lateral flow can induce premature wear of the seal.

Good news: $12 part

Bad news: 5 hours of labor (you essentially have to remove the tranny)

He was hiding under a tree. I was tired, just wanted to get home. I double checked both ways and made sure that I couldn't see anyone, so just ran through it. Didn't even once think that I would get busted for running it a couple of hundred feet from my house.

I just hope that I can take DD for it and not worry about it.

Kurt,

I hope all is OK. Please tell me you are not going to Houston to the MD Anderson.
