thanks man.
trying to get all the cleaning done that we ned to do while i can still use the pressure washer and garden hose.
time-wise......not gonna happen fast unless i can dig up some $$$$$ somewhere.
so we are makng our shopping list and going to make some sort of sense of importance out of it and take it from there.
not sure i care about the condition of the block or that i can really get it clean enough for paint....it may just stay the way it is.

well (curse word)!!
i'm stuck at trying to get these stupid cam-bolts off.
can't hold it steady no matter what, but then it was suggested to me to wedge the handle of the pulley holder under the adjacent wheel (3vze....2 cams....2 wheels across from each other)..this was gonna work!! held it steady and then.........broke my adapter.
was using my 1/2'' drive breaker bar with a 3/8'' adapter so i could use the only 16mm socket i have which is a 16mm 3/8'' drive. shoulda known better. have to go buy a 16mm impact socket now.
so another tool goes into the broken tool jar

hey bud.
was wondering about you again.
making slow but steady progress. no real set-backs. unless, of course, you count not having money to buy parts as one.
spent a good amount of time , again, this morning searching parts etc......for a small order, shipping will kill me. so we will make as big of a list as possible and do it in one big bite.
