Well two of us are in the garage for the winter. Transmission is pulled from mine and Bones can't seem to keep a starter in his without burning it up.

I will be a member shortly, Im debating between gs-t in pasco or poulsbo. hmmm, decisions decisions. They both are very simular but the one in poulsbo has a 6bolt/ 60k rebuild motor.

I'd be interested in something! I'll be moving to Richland come December this year. She'll be parked all winter till the weather gets nice in the Spring! But I'd love to get involved with some fellow DSM-ers around.

Yeah Bones called for me, we were looking for a impact gun. Been trying to get the flywheel off my car and have tried 3 different impact guns but none of them seem to have enough torque to get the bolts off.

you guys get it off yet? i have a 600 ft lbs impact. but yeah if you guys need anythin else just give me a call.

ranger87 · 09-20-2008, 09:59 PM

this is djordan97 on another locals profile. I am still around and I can bring a couple of impacts plus a couple really big wrenches to help you get those flywheel bolts off if you guys need.

djordan97 · 09-20-2008, 10:01 PM

yeah that last post was me on my buddies profile

droppinbottom · 09-21-2008, 10:32 AM

I have not gotten them off yet. Just not had the time to mess with it this week. I got the tranny and clutch off and it is over at EnglishRacing right now. I appreciate the offers for help. I borrowed a impact from a friend that has a rating of 600ft lbs reverse torque and it did not even budge the bolts.

try locking the crankshaft and use a huge breaker bar. what psi is your air compressor set at? i run mine at about 110 psi for the impact

Regulator caps out at about 135psi on mine. I don't have a breaker bar at the moment. That is one that list of "I need to remember to buy" next time I go out but I always seem to forget.

marsh63 · 09-21-2008, 06:55 PM

use a cutting torch. lol jk

um i made a tool to lock my crank shaft so if u need it ill bring it to u. that was befor i had a impact. also ill bring over a breaker bar if you still need it.

djordan97 · 09-22-2008, 02:15 AM

I have a breaker bar that's 2 feet long plus my jack handle will fit on my breaker bar. if that won't break those bolts free then I doubt that anything will break em free

SosaPerformance · 09-22-2008, 07:43 AM

Anyone from tri-cities gonna throw any mini meets before the weather turns to total shxx. From Yaks and was thinking of driving down this weekend with a couple dsm's just to get out of town and see some new cars/peeps.

What engine management/setup are you on? Be happy to help out, that is if you need some help. Is there still a decent turnout of cars at Hastings. Its been a while since I have been to Kennewick to drive around at night.
