so here's the story....
my oil pressure droped down on idle so with just BPU i decide to fix it later, on my garage are a set of Edelbrock performer rpm heads an F303 MAC exhaust and so on
After 2 water seals past out i decide to take out the egine and start the h/c/i/ combo.
Engine's taken out but the heads came with flat tapet pushrods so i need ones for my roller engine, after a 3 hr trip (last monday with a tropical storm i got caught on) i finally got them, time to put the engine in but wait! valves hit on the pistons! damn so i go back to my dads and ask him for the old engine that had the heads on so i go and tow the car get the engine out and guess what, its an old HO block so mi lifters won't fit! so now another block is gettin machined and bored to .30 didn't mention the pistons that clear the valves were for .30 bored engine and my car had the original engine std bore my deadline is march 18 when a drag event hits my town so wish me luck to get the pony back on the road,
Does anybody sometime felt like this?? like everything its against you??

Every time I pop my hood. Or lift the rear end to fix the fuel tank. Or take the door panels off to fix that !@#&*$^ door handle again. Or when the moonroof pisses on me when I take the first left after the car was sitting in the rain. Or I look down at the place where my stereo used to be, before someone stole it. Or when I look at an old, replacement stereo sitting in the garage and realize he took my amp too, and I can't hear anything over the exhaust without an amp. Or when I go to the parking deck at school and find my tire is flat, but then I remember I have a pump that runs off a cigarette lighter BUT THEN I remember took out my cigarette lighter because I removed that panel to service the emergency brake. . .. .

So basically all the fucking time.

My worst.

I let a friend drive my car around the block, It came back with spun rod barings. My wife gives me the "It's time to put the car up talk". so It sits a couple of years. I get a stock motor off a guy down the street, throw it in, and it won't run right. I tru to pull codes and it cant raise Idle. I start checking sensors and find nothing I replace lifters, timing chain, o2s, allkinds of stuff. I take it to ford and after 6, $80 hours they say tuff luck. I take the heads off check the valves, nothing replace all the lines, fuel pump, injectors. STILL NOTHING. One Day I was tinkering with the stock mass air housing, I wanted to port it to 60mm I drill the brass pins out and low and Behold, a FUCKING SPIDER NEST in the air vane. I cleaned it out, and it started right up and ran fine.

you have a pissing moonroof too, broken handle too, how bout a leaking longtube where a stud is broken off, how bout hitting a curb because some jackass cut me off and instead of hitting him i swerved and ruined a rim and bought four more....Yep, everything seems to be against me at times...all of this has happened in a short period of time as well.

Yeah, and sometimes you just have to whip the shit out of them. Also, there's a fine, fine line between "lifestyle" and "downfall."

[Stangzilla]

That part I disagree with becauce I have so much money in my car and just about everything is new I waould not say downfall just yet... But give it time for sure...

Back when I had my 89, I'd just gotten it painted and was on the Highway driving to work early in the morning - freezing fucking rain - some asshole is coming up on me real quick, so I step on the gas to get past the car beside me so I can get out of his way. Spin, looking at concrete - spin the wheel - looking at the guy driving beside me - counter steer again - WHAM! Into the fucking concrete divider.... that and everytime I try and fix something simple, it turns into a nightmare...

[luizGT91]

i also have a Taurus SHO does bastards give more headaches than glory days, broken motor mounts, or charge problems, sunroof fails windows do go up (it will always be a Taurus) but when i kick some tpi camaros and ricer sh*t out thats when love comes to the "toros"
Good news probably tomorrow my stang has his heart back on
