    Just got word that DriveGear has my rebuilt tranny ready to ship, so I picked up a new JB Racing lightweight flywheel and M5 clutch to go in with it.

    While we appreciate the effort Todd, maybe we all shouldn't list when we buy fuel.

    Good luck next week on that future tank.

    Just implying I am driving the car a lot while the weather is great. Humor can be lost on the internet.

    Got some fancy near perfect door panels. The ones that came with my car were pretty crappy. These cost more than I wanted to spend but were worth it. I went ahead and refreshed some of the adhesive to ensure that they don't fail in the future.

    the dents in the leather is just from the packing foam, it smoothed out on its own after 20min of being unpackaged. I got these from that prevet_03 on Ebay. I got the drivers side installed last night along with new kenwood tweeters. I will get the passenger side done this weekend.

    Sadly, the newly installed S54 developed quick a ticking sound during the drive out to Monterey and back. The culprit:





    One of these is not like the other. Seems like one of the rockers was robbed of oil for just enough time to develop some wear, which became worse with additional driving. So very glad nothing disastrous occurred during the drive, but just a complete demolition of my bank account.

    She received 12 new rockers and a new exhaust cam, along with another valve adjustment and oil change. Purrs like a kitten now.



    New cam on left, old on right. The associated lobe had some ugly wear on it, but I didn't snap an up close photo of it.

    Im still scratching my head on that one. It almost like you used your cam as a milling machine it's so smooth.

    Glad to hear it's back on the road.

    Thats a bummer Mark... it was definitely loud valvetrain noise, think we just assumed it was due for a valve shim adjustment. Ouch. Did you take it in for shims and they discovered that? Any idea what the cause was? I mean this engine was just installed, wasn't it?

    The old cam would make a pretty cool lamp...

    Replaced the 3rd brake light assembly. Previous owner had lost or removed the gasket and got water entry as well as a fully corroded brake light assembly. The assembly wasn't cheap (the gasket is cheap), but it only took 20 minutes to replace.
