Day 4 TD

I started my Thursday morning off going for a (little ride) this turned into a coolant bust that covered the motor in coolant. It was originally leaking powersteering fluid, I went over to the hardware store to fix the leaks but it ended up being an hour in the parking lot waiting for the engine to cool down. I couldn’t get my hands in there to fix it without burning them. This took up 2 and a half hours of my morning. I spend a few hours flushing that coolant again since it was a funky color. I might need to replace a gasket or 2 starting next week so I don’t get any more leaks. Spend a total of 6 hours in the garage and 2 hours on the road fixing the jeep, another half hour of driving time.

It didn’t take me long at all to get the car started up so I could test what was wrong. I was concerned about how productive I was going to be considering I didn’t have much packed on Monday. Things ended up taking a turn on Tuesday morning.  I had a friend go over to the house and pack my tools into the Jeep and coordinate a tow truck to bring it up. The towing company came Tuesday morning and picked the car up. They hauled it through Mass and up to Wilmot. When it arrived I had already spent Monday morning disassembling an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold. This helped me out big time. On Tuesday afternoon when I got back from practice, I began assembling the sensors on the new throttle body. After that, I got my injectors mounted inside the fuel rails and sealed them to the intake manifold. I spend some time that day putting together a list of w

Day 6

 Day 6 I began shopping for piping in the morning to weld into the pre existing turbo kit, me and Chris drove down to Boston to pick up a y pipe that will split under the front pipe on the bottom of the car. We were out for about 3 hours on the morning then came home to pack up the rest of the turbo kit to bring up north. This was a total of 9 hours considering the drive time up and down from Boston and Andover.

Day 2 TD

 Day 2 was a big day for the operation. Jeep got hauled up to wilmot in the morning. I began unloading tools and parts out of the truck to get me ready to roll. Headed out to baseball practice shortly after the arrival of the jeep. When I got back I began assembling the sensors on the new throttle body (circular part with butterfly valve in the middle). After that I got my injectors mounted inside the fuel rails and sealed them to the intake manifold. Spend some time putting together a list of what I needed from Massachusetts and the hardware store.
