I'm getting another SHO!

[Izzmo]

The new SHO sitting in my garage now. I'm too chicken shit to start it again I found out that the cam problem is indeed true and it's coming from the rear bank.

So, it looks like I'll be driving a gas hog for a while as I tear this engine down from the horns to the heads and replacing everything from spark plugs to gaskets to taking out the secondaries! Fun fun.

Hey Paul, what ever happened to your Silver Gen 3?

 

[jthod]

That's his gas hog! He's just building to our SHO empire.

 

[Izzmo]

Oh, lol... of course of course!

 

[Izzmo]

Okay, here's some photos of it.

I will definitely be taking that ugly clear bug reflector off of it.

I got it for $1,400, so there is some work to be done.

I'll have some more pictures as I tear the engine apart down to the heads.

Damn, my two cams I have are for the front bank. That would have worked out alright.

Yes, still have the 99, and adding to the Nebraska SHO empire.

Just wait till I get SHO engines from SECC for my students, hooray! :woohoo:

 

[Izzmo]

Nice!

Well, I'm welding all my cams.. so.... you said you already have the front 2 cams welded? How much!?

 

[jthod]

Looks pretty nice!

The bug shield makes it look nerdy!

When's the completion sate set for? I do expect to see it here in August.

Izzmo that gen 3 looks great! I was looking at a 96 red/tan last summer and boy did i have a fun time test driving it. If i ever decide to buy a second car, it will definitely be a red/tan gen 3.

 

[Izzmo]

Ya, the tan lan interior was great! I miss it.. I had it on my black SHO.. damn it look'd good. It was flawless.

very nice looking car. clear bug deflector, wtf?

 

[Izzmo]

Yeah, I know.. not sure what the previous owner was thinking.

 

[NebraskaSHO]

My car started to get really hot last night and I had to ditch it in Omaha. Leaking water pump, my ass.

Oh well, drives pretty good, stops and tracks straight.

 

[NebraskaSHO]

Cars parked at Jthods, we made the trip on Tuesday to grab it.

He said he found keys in it, lots of keys. STRANGE.

 

[Izzmo]

In your car? That's really weird...

 

[jthod]

About 15 I think. All kinds too, house keys, master lock keys, other padlock keys...they were somewhat arranged too. Did you ever ask the guy about it Paul?

 

[NebraskaSHO]

No I haven't yet. They must be the previous previous owners keys.

 

[jthod]

Damn, you up late Paul! Oh, me too, I work in the morning! It's kinda nice going to a job and not knowing what to expect. At SW, it's always the same damn thing. I'm definitly liking it, A LOT!

 

[NebraskaSHO]

I was on Beaver Lake south of Plattsmouth when I wrote that, after a few drinks.

Off to work again, what days work best for you?

 

[jthod]

Monday and Wendsday nights (after 9pm usually), Tuesday and Thursday morning/early afternoon (before 4pm usually). Sundays are usually open too, I work every other weekend, and I am this weekend. I'll be home at about 5pm.

The radar detector works.

 

[NebraskaSHO]

I got pulled over for no front plate last night, sigh...

Glad to hear that works!
