Hit the 2 Pic a Parts in my area today. Made out pretty good. Got a $80 coil for $6.50 for an 02 Accent I'm working on. Window reg with motor, 02 Sonata $25 instead of $140. Sunvisors for a Dakota pickup, & AC compressor with bracket, idler pulley & hoses for my 99 Metro for $30, plus an almost new looking Metro clutch disc, TB bearing & plate for $15. Not a bad haul.

Runs the same as before in my other video. Doubt the 0-60 changed much. I will time it though and make a video.

ez fix. did it at work yesterday before i left. ran the motor for a minute, and found the heater hose under the tstat housing leaking right after the clamp. old age crack in the hose just after the clamp. removed hose, and cut just after the split, and shoved it back on. no leaks so far. planned to change all the hoses sometime later. got a control arm for left front for the 4 door. going to change this weekend. got it off ebay for $35 total.

Yesterday I was in the front yard cleaning out my truck. I live in a pretty good area where not too much happens. So it was a surprise when I watched the following. This guy in a old Oldsmobile was grooving down the road with hist stereo up pretty loud. There a curve in front of my house. When he went though it , he met a small suv. He yelled "Hey Bitch you almost hit me!!!" The lady(?) in the suv slammed on her brakes and stopped. She jumped out of her car an walked over to the guy and said "Who in the hell are you calling a bitch?" The argument got pretty heated when she commented on the size of his reproductive organ. He started to get out of the car but quick as a flash she pulled a pistol from the small of her back. OH Damn. She told him to get in his car and drive off. He did. Lot of action for the front yard. I dont think her name was bitch. LOL :banana :banana :banana
:D Smile when you say that partner. :lol

Tried to play Superman in the garage and went to install the trans in the XFi in my garage all by myself. I pulled something and it's not good. I failed to get it put in for the second time.
LOL, Life's a bitch when you start getting older isn't it? :) Rest that shoulder and get better. Also, get some help next time.

Johnny, I've been meaning to ask you but I keep forgetting. Can you give me a quick rundown on the difference in engine performance (G10) between the stock cam and the 3tech cam and gear? I'm considering trying to improve engine performance if possible.

Thanks

I can.

Performance cam = added power at up RPM and improved airflow, for more power throughout. Less fuel efficiency by 2 or so MPGs, depending on how you drive.

Economy cam = torque curve moved down, more power...maybe...noticeably less top end. More fuel efficiency.

+ 10 cam gear moves power band down, and adds 5hp.

Thanks. Can you elaborate on how each cam sprocket changes performance? For example, how does the +6 sprocket change performance from the +10?
