Upper 60k

[93VantuckySHO]

Hello everyone. Haven't been on here in awhile. I made a post a few months back about my day owned SHO flickering her oil light at me.

Today I knocked out the upper 60k minus the valve lash adjustment. I know.. I know.. but the heads are silent and I have a receipt from PO, he had it done at least once in its life. I don't feel AS guilty. Total time 6 hours!

And she still smokes like a banshee. If the front 60k doesn't fix it.. well lets just say I've already scoped the cliff to send her over the rainbow bridge on

Upper would have been 100% faster except EVERYTHING was FILTHY! The plugs, all 6, were submerged in oil. I am amazed it's been running as well as it has this long.

Heading over to SHO source now to order my parts. Will up date soon...

Edit:
Any tips on torquing the crank pulley bolt on an ATX?

1. put the old accy belt on, and shove a pry bar between the belt and the crank pulley on the tight side so that when the crank pulley tries to turn it wedges the pry bar into the pulley. when done with that, put on a new accy belt.
2. put a good strap wrench on the crank pulley and let the handle rest against the idler pulley while you torque the bolt. note that you need a good strap wrench - I broke the HF one doing that, which is why I also know #1.
