Tonight concludes my 17th consecutive 14+ hour shift in a row with no weekends. Just to let you guys know what's involved in this move... We're setting up our new office of 55 employees in part of a 106 year-old historic train station that hasn't been occupied in over 50 years. It's the coolest building in the city. We're setting up a server farm and plumbing 7 T1 lines to the 5th floor, as well as coordinating furniture, electrical, networking, plumbing, HVAC and carpentry contractors with unrealistic deadlines. We're supposed to be up and running on Monday. Verizon still can't get 2 of the T1 lines straight. For 2 days, I have been moving heavy shit up to the 5th floor, and the main elevator is broken.

Meanwhile, all my consulting clients are blowing me up and I can't do much to help them right now. I have no clean clothes. My fridge is bare. My cars are dirty and neglected. I have no Christmas shopping done and I have a family Christmas party to go to tomorrow while people are expecting me to be working.

Somebody @^(#ing kill me.

I promise... I'll begin returning emails and posting the new car project after the new year. I'll be really limited until then at what I can do. But don't forget, I still love you guys like brothas from different mothas.

ElCoqui - at least you get overtime. This MF is salaried and ain't gettin' jack shit else out of it but a headache.

 

well, tony tried to retune the car earlier this week and its still be ing gay. the car is breaking up around 5k. its throwing a vtec pressure solenoid code. i already replaced the spool solenoid, now i need the other portion. its also smoking, burns oil. i checked the compression twice. once ity was 150 on all four with a busted ass tester, then i got a new one and it was a lil over 190 on everycylinder....so, i though maybe the turbo or valve stem seals. i pulled the exhaust mani off today, and on the exhaust manifold gasket there is oil. there is a leak on the side of my block where the tranny bolts to the engine. it looks liek oil is coming out of the side of the head. i think the oil is possibly leaking from that and running down to the exhaust mani. i wanna pull the head over the weekend and see whaere the oil is coming from.
some guy on honda-tech had a thread showing some sort of rubber o-ring on the side of the head for vtec heads. he said this is usually busted and thats where the oi lis coming from. who knows, ive looked at some pics from majestic honda and there looks like there is an oring, but i cant see it havign this big of an effect.. ill try and get pics later after work

 

Jafro - that work schedule sounds horrible.. i think i would have killed them.. they better be giving u one hell of a christmas bonus or a raise after all that BS.. hopfully you can take some comp. time over that! WOW! Needless to say... no time for drinkin! :thumbup:

Eric.. find my rachet! & do u have any oil in your charge pipes? if so, get the turbo rebuilt, if not get the valve stem seals replaced.

 

Im happy to see that after all the hell you went through here in the begining you now know what is what! Glad to see that some poeple actually do learn something lol

 

zero oil in charge pipes. im taking them all off so i can get them to my pops house to weld them all together. i should just have the car trailered there so i can build my 3in exhaust

 

Thank you, i have learned a lot from here & i feel it's my duty to return the help to HAN. Thanks for the compliment & glad to see your still around!

 

:bigok: :hi5: Im gonna be around forever. I think Im gonna be 80 banging 2nd down the road! Haha. I still consider myself a newjack cause there is always something to learn! Like im gonna rebuild my motor in Jan I would like to do all the head work myself but never did it b4. Also I wanna install the pistons but don't know nothing about gapping the rings lol. Anyways Im glad to see your still doing your thing with the hondas!
