CSB3: Admins Don't Even Change Thread Titles, OP Doesn't Have A MKX Anymore

I think @jay745 would be willing to help you with that

Yeah, but not for free...

Yes, I'm familiar with this, but what's the meta strat?
Strat 1: Lay the sealant, place part on surface, tighten bolts hand tight all around, then torque spec in speficied sequence and wait for it to cure
or
Strat 2: Lay the sealant, spread it with your finger, place part on surface, then follow rest of Strat 1
or
Strat 3: Lay the sealant (with or without spreading with finger), place part on surface, hand tight bolts, wait 10/15/20 min for sealant to set, then torque spec and wait for it to cure
The research I've done shows that it probably doesn't matter, but I hate doing this shit, so anything that helps make sure it's sealed and doesn't leak oil is ideal. There's gotta be a project farm video on this.

I see no mention of a 2x4.

I do that with my alcohol.

If you drink it all first you don't have to worry about broken bottles on the drive home.

Ah, that makes sense. I keep forgetting this is supposed to just be a fun weekend car, and I don't need to make it a track weapon.

Meanwhile the AX weapon car is neglected because I'm hoping to be out of it soon an into a Miata

I think the 034 will work well in a fun weekend car. I don't have them in yet, I've heard a lot of good things about the camsters and adding some feel to the steering and making the front end pointier, even with stock springs.

So, The Wife is horribly afraid of heights, and presumes that everyone else is as uncoordinated as she is.

We have two cats, Bill & Ted. Naming was dropped on me, and it was a rush job.... best I could do on short notice for two brothers.

Side note, bastards are bobcat sized, +/- 20lbs each...

We're staying at a BnB currently, cats & all...

The Wife's worst fear/paranoid/panic inducing thing: her poor uncoordinated kittens exploring.....

Yeah...

CSB: Roomie got me a guest pass to Lifetime. Did a fire 1.5hour workout, hit the sauna, hit a shower. I felt like a baby's ass after, that place is super country club.
Just finished sealing the valve cover on the car. New Camshaft is in and I laid an absolute dime of a sealant line. One thing that's worrying me is that this aftermarket cam doesn't have the cutaway that allows you to get a wrench to turn it. This is going to make timing tricky. I'll have to twist it with my hands while a buddy slides the cam-lock in. What a PITA.

pffffft how bougie

I spent more than I want to admit to buy a decent DDR pad so I could play in my basement at 34 years old

ngl though noticable improvements in how I feel and fit in clothes, regardless of how dumb it feels. I'm about as good as I was ~18 years ago, working back to when I was actually decently good

Work benefits make it really cheap for him, otherwise it's way too much for a gym membership.
Planet fat is so chopped. Can't even do certain lifts because they don't offer the equipment.
