UPDATE: DRAT, I couldn’t hold the smoke………

…….. I was trying to post a fast video this morning…… I heard that Jason was going to move the Mercedes Motor Stand with the EM-50 long block hooked up to its rear wheel…..also fitted with a FiTech fuel injection system that we’ve been presuming systems while breaking it in.  I mean “Mutcedes” has to be of use to us…..besides being a fun way to get any bugs out of the full roller 455 before we install it.I mean the they’re not letting me loose with it but firing the plant up also sporting the FiTech Forced Fuel system which may also be the snappy combination for Sniper too which will be fitted onto it.  I couldn’t get the smart phone from making me look silly….oh well……zoom in on that pic…. you’ll see Ricky stuck to the back of the car running the throttle while Jason steered the coach over where the Sniper system will go in.and that project moves forward.  I’ll work on that video download stuff…..Hey Brian!

Eleganza is pointing to her diamond plate food box complete with an empty bowl……youre killing me!  And then later I find where she snuck in for a nap on the leather sofa……..No, I don’t wanna hear itI mean how do you say bad dog…….never mind she could rip my arm off and eat it!  Eleganza is a value member of our teamHey, this is GMC content too!  Ok

if you’re good running original 455 like I do in my coach…..your motor has a really loose chain and a cam gear with plastic teeth……..to have a quieter motor……..  Yeah, right……. Replace your timing chain……dont even check it just replace it and when water pump and fan clutch in front of the motor…….and the belts, power steering hoses, thermostat, radiator hoses……..man it never ends……..yup!

just like some of you get excited about work you’re doing with your coach I too am a personal GMC enthusiast or whatever you want to call us….i put in the sweat to “dehermatize” JayGee after getting my wall leak finally fixed……after what 3 months of changing the catch tray in the window!…..Man, it’s tough….do I work on my stuff or all the projects around here!  That’s why it took 3 months!  Next week maybe I’ll wash the?mold stream where the roof AC has been draining…..and that HUMID heat!well that one is sealed…..whoz next!

It was a good day looking back as the security light trigger on after sunset
