No. I'm referring to the sealing surfaces on the upper side of the valve base, and the undersides of the valve seats. They need to be polished as a pair so that they seal, and you generally don't do them mechanically but by hand. Any Google search will give you plenty of information on this.

 

Burnouts. Just had to find out if it could.

@Alex_M only wet roads and ice . But that little video made my day

 

Even got a little tire smoke! I was pleased.

Gotta admit, low range may have also played a role.

 

Greased up all the fittings on the front drive shaft. I make sure to do this at every oil change and will be doing that later this week.

Wish I was doing burn outs like Alex_M! I did watch the video multiple times, so I feel like I've lived the experience!

 

Started in the front bumper today. Good enough to rock for a while. I'll still be adding a hitch receiver to the front and filling in under the middle a little more, but not a whole lot.

 

Received my new built front and rear diffs with true tracs and gears in both. Plus a GBR double cardan rear drive shaft. I’m so fn pumped right now!

just waiting on my axle and hub seals to get here, then I’ll install....

 

Also started my cabinet build

 

The 40A fuse blew on my driver’s seat motor. I keep a bag of miscellaneous fuses in the truck but of course no 40A fuses where in it.

 

Begun tearing into the top end of the engine. Now that I have time on my hands due to layoff, I can take care of some of the more involved maintenance. Chief among which are the valley pan and valve cover gaskets. Taking this time to also switch to Extinct's inline thermostat (currently running the genuine TD5 180°), and refresh all of the coolant hoses. Rear cargo door is stuck shut, so that's on the docket, too. If I'm unlucky enough to remain unemployed, I'll see about addressing the sagging headliner afterwards.
