As I recall there will be some grinding involved for that dizzy

 

Are you able to drive on the dunes?

Brian.

 

I'm anticipating that. I have a few intakes to work with though, so I'm sure I'll get it.

No driving allowed, but they rent wooden sleds/snowboards you can go down the dunes on. We did come in the back way to Great Sand Dunes NP, through Medano Pass, which was fun.

I have no doubt you will. Been tempted to try that for years on the 110

 

Kids are older, completed my degree, and finished the basement. Stopped daily driving a Rover and bought a 1st Gen Sequoia. Took my daughter out to Colorado and Moab for 2 weeks.



Revisiting the same Radio Shack in 2022 in my Sequoia.

Changing the fuel pump in my ‘98 D1 in the Radio Shack parking lot in Moab, UT in 2010.

 

Good to see you are still trucking along

also impressed you found a radio shack

 

Still trucking, buddy! I was surprised too, the store was closed/empty but the sign was still up.

 

Alright…. I didn’t just come here to gloat about taking a trip to Colorado for 2 weeks in a 16yo vehicle and having no car troubles….

I finally pulled out my 4.6 14CUX engine that I had stripped bare 5 years ago along with all the boxes of parts.

Used the ultrasonic cleaner and pressure washer at work to get the caked grime off.

Looking pretty good.

Chased all the head bolt holes with a tap and was shocked how many filings came out.

Knocked in some new crankshaft bearings with this guy. Now I get to store this large tool until the next time I completely rebuild an engine.

4.6 crank installed

Cheat sheet for installing the pistons and caps.

And decided to buy new rocker arms and push rods based on current ones condition. No sense installing new Crower lifters and camshaft with crappy rocker arms and push rods, I suppose.

 

Better safe than sorry while you are in there to replace the wear parts

 

Hey Fish, good to see you. The new build should be nice. Thanks for taking us along.
