Aaron and I were willing to help you out a couple of weeks ago, but you had a baseball game. Might be available to help on September 9th if Aaron and John are also available. Aren't you trying to sell this car?

If anyone makes it out that way, I have a Fel-Pro intake gasket set for the V6, cork valve cover gaskets included. You're more than likely going to have to take the upper and middle intake manifolds off to get to the valve covers. Find a place about halfway and I'll get them to you. If practical, I may be able to help. A bit far for me and I'm assisting on another project.

Hell, I'd do the whole damn thing for the kid in exchange for beer. But my tools are out in motherfugging Lacey. And I have a job. And I'm busy drinking. And I need to move this weekend; been putting that off too damn long.

Hey kid, hit me up the weekend of whatever is not this weekend but the next. Bring some beer. Good beer, no Coors Light bulls*** like happened one time before. Squint

Well the problem was I hav the socket and ratchet to take off the bolts and i found out 1 bolt was really loose, (causing the hole problem) so I tighten that one, but it was a easy bolt to get to.

Now I am stuck, all the other bolts are underneath top silver tihng and nearly impossible to get to unless I had a long ass metal thing that buns that is connected to a ratchet, even if I had that still be hard as hell... so i am stuck and I am sure car only need new gaskets nap sells them 20$ each.. i really wanna fix this car i love it.

Dude, don't do anything else to your car or you might break something. John, Aaron, and I aren't available this weekend, but maybe the next weekend, we can come help you out. Just make sure you have the correct gaskets, preferably the rubber ones, and money to order us pizza and soda (no coke products if the strike is still going on). You might want to buy some new intake gaskets (for the top silver thing). And if Aaron comes out any sooner, be sure to buy him a 40oz of Old E. St. Ides makes him hurl. Laughing

Actually if I really didn't want take the top silver thing i would need this

sometihng that long and flexible that connects to socket

flea · Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 11:48 am Post subject:

you need braided bathroom water lines to remove a bolt?

ok im confused.

I think the problem with using something even almost that flexible is that there will be zero torsional strength. I think that means that unless the bolt in question is less than finger tight, your braided line will simply get all twisted up. Like the water hose it is.

A universal joint, as quasi-petals suggested, is the ticket there.

Nope because those are to big. wont fit down there

flea · Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 2:51 pm Post subject:

What won't fit down there? the universal?
But if a socket will fit, and if a long flexible tube will fit, then how does a universal not work??

put the socket on the nut/bolt, have the socket on a short extension the extension going to a universal going to another longer extension then of course the handle
