Have you had chickenpox before? If not then you do not have Shingles. If you have then I would recommend that you go see a doctor as soon as you can, they will put you on an anti-viral medication (I think the last time I had it they put me on fam-vir [however it is spelled]). I have had it a few times, it is (from how the doctor explained it to me years ago) the chickenpox virus stays in your body and never really goes away and Shingles is a form of it, and it is usually triggered by something (for me it happens to be sunburn, sounds like it could be stress for you if you do in fact have it). Also, Paul is correct, it is painful, however when I got it the few times I have, it was just a small rash (couple inches around) usually showed up on my chest. That is about all I know hope it helps, again I would highly recommend going to see a doctor.

See if you can get a hold of some vacuum sealant (kind of like rubber cement) to brush on the insulators while the bike is running. If there are any leaks in them the vacuum from the motor will draw the sealant in to seal them up. While you may not be able to replace them (easily or in a cost effective manner), this could get you by for a while if it is the issue. Other than that, I would try running some seafoam in the gas to see if it helps to clean out the carbs a little.

I went to test and tune last Friday at MCIR and they didn't have any tech (that I saw going on).

I so want to try one of these. There is a recipe for a breakfast fatty somewhere.

Did you replace the master cylinder? Are you sure everything is connected (from the pedal to the MC)?

I'm not going to vote because I cannot promise that I can go, but if it is at MCIR I will try to help my buddy get his car together so we can come race.

Eli is hands down one of the most stand up guy's I have met from here on CR, probably out of anyone I have met period.

Shooting to have it back out this year or next?

I don't necessarily agree with turning part of the middle east into a parking lot. How would you feel if there was a "terrorist" group here in the US and someone on the other side of the world was just like, "fuck it, kill them all, you will get the terrorists that way". I for one would not want to be killed because of some fucktards that I had nothing to do with. Don't get me wrong, ISIS needs to be taken out, but I don't believe such a drastic measure is necessary. Really I don't think we would have half the problems we do if our government could keep their nose out of other peoples business.

Glad to to see something positive to balance the negative. Here are a couple pics of my dude, pardon the quality, I took them with my phone. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w392/uummm1/20140501_195326_zpswtuoim5y.jpg Helping with my car. He loves cars, I must be doing something right. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w392/uummm1/20140721_110904_zps38tin6rr.jpg

Since you only replaced one piston it could be possible that it is a slightly different weight than the rest which could cause a vibration. Not saying that is it, just putting an idea on the table.

Different bolt pattern than other LSx motors?

Would be an excellent motor for the 7. :fuckyeah:

Let me talk to my wife's aunt, she is looking to get her son a first car. I will let you know via pm if she is interested.

I wouldn't disagree with the Tucker, for the time it was a rather advanced car. Had they stayed around, who knows where cars would be today (as far as advancements).

Damn dude, so very sorry to hear this. I'm glad she was a doner, it is a great feeling (in the end) to know a loved one who passed on was able to help others that were/are unfortunate.

I am hoping for a full and speedy recovery for her.

Something that may help you get a title sooner is just see if you can find out who the last registered owner is (verify it is not stolen first) and just ask them to sign it over. If they refuse then tell them that they owe storage fees on the vehicle, something like 1200 a year for 20 years should do it lol ($100 a month would seem reasonable to charge someone for car storage).

Get on facebook and check out some of the wheel groups. You can usually get a pretty good deal on there.

Copy cat. How'd you know I was running one of those?

Looks like a overgrown dart with more power. That said, I would totally rock the shit out of this car.

I also have a HF press (20 ton) your welcome to use (though I do not have any adapter plates yet). I'm on the north side of columbus if you need it.

All of this for some reason reminds me of one of my favorite movies by him, What dreams may come. He was a great actor even in his more serious roles.

Damn Doc, thats a helluva price for the car. Glws.

Stewart has always been hot headed (from what I have seen in nascar races), though he has calmed down in the past few years. I'd like to think he was smarter than to try to intentionally throw dirt over the other driver, though I wouldn't have put it past him a few years ago.
