May Have to Retire..... - Page 4

smashedheadcat · 10-29-2002, 07:19 PM

I'm kinda wondering if tom is gonna post in here again about the removal of the motor with the longtubes on. If it's possible, it'd be very helpful when it comes time to put the motor back in. Also, i just bought a camera today so i'll be able to get some more pictures of everything going on. I've also got a few great pictures of my cobra over labor day weekend, i just need to get them scanned so i can post 'em.

And last but not least:......... People ask me this (mostly family): What's it look like over "there"??? There ya have it. Poor quality, but it's like "that".

Anyway....... moving along. I called true blue today. i'm gonna get my motor ripped out, covered with plastic or something, load it up and bring it to them. It'll be the first of next week before i'll be able to drop it off though. But they're ready for me to bring it up there, so I guess they are waiting on me. Hopefully, i'll get my car put back together in a shorter time than it's taken me to get it out.

Hahaha....yeah, I'm gonna post again. When JC pulled his I believe he left the tranny installed as well, I think he reinstalled it that way too....attach the tranny, attach the headers and the slip it back in (angled as you enter the engine bay). I'll ask JC for more details..

Nice pics Josh!

Glad to hear it won't be long before that engine meets True Blue! I'd like to know what True Blue finds the problem to be.

Well, I guess I could do that. True Blue said to just bring the motor, and not the trans. Oh well, my tranny is still attached to the motor by 2 bolts (top ones). I'll slide a few more in on the bottom, and i'll slip it out on Saturday. It looks as if it could be done keeping the trans & motor connected. I'll find out first hand on Saturday.

Ehh, I don't trust the 46's at all. "If it isn't leaking on one of those, that means it's empty"

This one is easier for me. Cuz we shut engines down in the air quite often. They always ask me "Why isn't that propeller spinning anymore?? Are we gonna crash??" When that happens, we usually have the Navigator or someone from the front put on a parachute, and run to the back as fast as he can..... the grunts get all riled up and almost sh*t themselves.

I don't get to shoot anything, but I do drop seals into the sea

Those pictures remind me of when I was in tha Army! Only this is what I saw when I was jumping out of the planes. I guess I was one of the "grunts" you were refering to! Only I wish we were that hight when we jumped instead of 800 ft AGL!

At 800ft, that doesn't give ya much time to deploy the chute does it? Did you guys use the static lines?? I've always wanted to jump once or twice, but it'll probably never happen. The whole grunt thing is just our way of livening up our day. Flying gets very boring after awhile ya know. So if we have people that kinda get scared when an engine goes out..... there's just too much temptation to push it to the next level and get some humor out of it. This doesn't work on all grunts, just some.
