Back in the game again.

Post by tytotheler92 »

Well, not really. A buddy of mine came to visit and I did a full LIM and Upper Intake job and tune up on it, and a good cleaning. It's an 01' Lesabre with 162k. Also got a new tensioner assembly, elbows, spark plugs, wires, ect.

Old gaskets:

This broke one me while installing a new tensioner.

Image

All done.

Image

Exploded a rear shock while replacing it.

Tested everything out on a nice 2 hour trip before he makes his 8hr trip back.

It had a poor casting there it seemed. I was also being sorta rough with the tensioner as it was giving me a hard time. haha.
