  1. Whats involved in R&R Chevy 3100 v6 cylinder head 1997 Monte Carlo???

    I know it is a given on any car to put the pushrods back where you took them out but, definatly make sure you do it with this motor. The exhaust and intake are 2 different lengths. Always fun when the new guy in the shop gets one and doesn't put them back in the same location. 7hrs. book time (intake not heads) turns into a week of waiting to get valves and heads back from the machine shop and getting it all back together. Would definatly suck to have to do heads twice.

  2. What is with the Double Standards on here?

    It's amazing how many double standards there are on the board regarding posts. Nothing against Dark Formula but it is just the most recent incident. He asked about a babysitter and Space Ghost and myself added a humorous response. All of a sudden they are deleted and everyone is told to keep it constructive. All day long peoples "I need help" threads are trashed. A while back Boosted98GST posted a thread that aparently had something to do with street racing. I did not get to read it before it was changed to "We don't talk about that here" by an admin. Yet I can click new posts any day of the week and at least find a story with a few at-a-boy comments if not find videos of said event. Everyone know's every newbie gets challanged to street racing and we are told to meet at QSL if we think we are fast enough to join the street race. I guess I have never been part of the in crowd and this stuff just gets old and makes me happy I am not part of it. I like reading Antwon's kill stories as much as Shanton's, as much as Linn's, as much as Boosted98GST's stories. If we can post/read one why can't we post/read them all? If someone can get ribbed a little bit about not knowing how to fix something or where to get certain help why can't the next guy?

     

    Go ahead flame away, move to the kitchen, delete the whole thread, etc. I obviously haven't swung from enough nuts to have an opinion nor will I ever.

  4. Question about Brakeline

    Cut and flare the line, cut and flare the line a little further back, get a piece of 12" premade brake line with the fittings on there then put together.

     

    That's the cheap way.

     

    Otherwise you're looking at replacing the whole line.

     

     

    I would recommend this method. This car requires metric bubble flares with std. thread fittings. They are a pain in the ass to find. Go get a double flare tool, 2 fittings, 2 unions, and a small piece of brake line. It will be fixed right and it will be safe.

  6. Skilled drive in a police chase

    I am confused on why they were chasing the smaller car towards the end...

     

    There is a better version with an english translator somewhere. What happened was the Porsche driver and the VW driver switched cars when they said they were ding a driver switch off cam. The VW driver is the one that actually originally started fleeing the cops in the Porsche. Why they would trade their VW for a wrecked Porsche with cops chasing it and then flee who knows?

  15. Pulled over

    I love how if there is an accident on private property they won't do a thing about it but, if they can make a buck they'll pull right in there and right you a ticket for anything they can. I was working in a shop and a drunk came flying across the lot and plowed a customer's car and they wouldn't even come take a report. A couple weeks later one of the guy's is roasting his tires off and gets hit with a ticket. Makes sense to me.

  23. QSL is Dead :\

    I recently joined OhioHondas.com as a recomendation from some people on here (when I had an Acura question). I went to their spring meet yesterday. We all met at Marcus theaters where they have met every year for 7 yrs according to some people I was talking to. After about 1/2 hr. Columbus PD kicked us out "at the request of the owner". We then went to a state/county park up the road. ( I am not sure of the name. It is just before the corner on 23 with Get-Go, Meijers, Skyline etc.) The Park Rangers there were very cool. They came through once to tell everyone to slow it down. Then they drove back through just making sure everyone was being cool and simply asked that cars in Handicap spots were moved. We could have stayed till 11pm when the park closed but, everyone got hungry. We all then went up to Sonic at Polaris and parked behind Sonic/Red Robin. We had great results there. I was also impressed that there were not as many "ricers" there. Didn't see a single burnout all day. I would recommend either the Park if someone was looking for a day event or Sonic and Red Robin for a night/evening event. They both didn't seem to mind us.

  25. Legally could I be fired?

    It could be termed conflict of interest. Example of how it is a conflict: Shady technician tells customer motor is siezed it will cost $5k to fix but, I will buy it from you for $2k. Customer sells car to tech. Tech. replaces bad starter for $50 and has a grat used car. It could also be termed damaging to business. Example: Company buys car for $2k pays $500 for used motor pays you $400 to put it in. Sells it as a used car for $5k. BUT you stepped in and bought it costing the company $2100 in profit plus the profit from the car that would have been traded in.

     

    In addition this is an at will state. In other words, you could be fired for Conflict of interest, damage to business, or because douchebag tells daddy I don't like him.

     

    In no way am I trying to say these were your intentions. Merely, that this is the way it could be termed so that they could fire you.
