Early this week... order my timing chain and valve springs.
Both are being shipped UPS, both are supposed to be here today... Neither are...
Pretty much screws my weekend over
god dam ups.....
*end rant*

 

sure they dont deliver on sat? I cant remember. waiting sucks huh? if your anything like me, then now would be a great time to clean the gar. and reorginze the tools while you wait. maybe even clean the eng. bay or something.

Yeah.. thats actually a good idea... it needs a good cleaning...
I also need to raise the motor up so i can drop the oil pan and replace the gasket i ****ed up...
grabbed a cherry picker tonite...
Anyone wanna help out sometime this weekend? lol
if not, anyone know what the best way to lift these motors is? and what may need to come out to do the gasket..?

well, you done HAVE to lift the eng. to replace the seal. it'll take ya a couple hours though. just remove all the bolts, and stretch the new seal up and around the oil pan. it will stretch enough trust me. autozone has the felpro gaskets which are a little better then the stock ones for like $28. cant beat that.

 

Yah... that could be it...
Im just gonna lift that thing a little bit to make it easier, already borrowed the cherry picker.
Probly the companies... it was Carquest and Combination Motorsports.

Oo well.. life goes on i guess.... i just needed to bitch about it lol

 

I'm waiting on UPS as well to deliver my torque arm. Should have been here yesterday but it never showed up.

 

Does the website actually say its out for delivery?

I've never had a problem with UPS either. It always goes back to the company if it doesn't come "on time."

 

Get a tracking number from the company you ordered from and then you can go to the UPS website and see exactly when UPS got your package and when it showed up at every destination on the way to your house. I have bought thousands of dollars of stuff for my car all over the US and never had a problem with UPS just the company that I bought the parts from. Even if a part showed up damaged I blame it on the company shipping it for not packaging it correctly.

 

I've been asking around about that on the LS1 Tech board. Majority seems to think the easiest way is to go out the bottom which is probably what i'll try this weekend.
