    IMG_20250201_143444.jpg Been working on my best friends car ( he passed unexpectedly last April and his family gave me his car)
    It was not in great shape, maintenance wasn't his thing.
    So far change oil/manual trans oil
    Distributor, wires ,plugs, set valve lash,throttle position sensor, cleaned EGR ports. Did all that fighting a random missfire at low throttle. The EGR ports was the real fix.VTEC solenoid, deleted all the EVAP BS on this car and deleted ac system I don't like ac , fixed some ground cables,radiator thermostat, thermostat housing, been fighting coolant leak at Thermo housing for a week now but finally resolved that
    And put new cat back factory style exhaust on.
    Runs like new now 164k miles I hope this car lasts another 30 yrs. It's a 94 IMG_20250125_165607.jpg IMG_20250201_121200.jpg IMG_20250211_114009.jpg IMG_20250213_152653.jpg IMG_20250209_131841.jpg IMG_20250222_174408.jpg IMG_20250223_120445.jpg

    Nice job! Were you eating a sandwich while working? Looks like a piece of BBQ pork on the motor in the first picture.:confused:

    Haha, pretty sure a mouse had dragged a walnut up in there,we live by a 60acre field so get lots of meeses.
    Back when I wrenched for a living (thank God I don't do that now) I ate while wrenching every day. Worst tasting is coolant and brake fluid always hated to get them on my food

    Did Bilstein warrantee those? I had a set go bad on our old Jeep Grand Cherokee. Ordered a new set from them sent them back the old ones, they tested them then refunded the cost of the new ones. Granted, I had replaced the OEMs with Bilsteins and still had the paperwork.

    Those were original to the truck, it’s an 07. They served their time and are off to a better place. Lol.
    I put the 5100’s on my truck years ago. Also put them in our Jeep when we had it. Highly recommend if you are in need.




    Amp and sub in a customers car today.
