  1. I only started a year and a half ago (at 32) and have no intentions of quiting any time soon. We have a lot of jumpers that are 50 plus that make six or more jumps a day at our dz. "If you have time to panic, you have time to do something more productive." Josh Whipple 7/15/70-2/10/05

  9. Sometimes retail sucks. Like today. But at least it lets me skydive.
  10. Most tracks that will allow a Top Fuel car to make a pass have long shutdown areas(the part after the 1/4 mile) that then have sandtraps, hay bales, nets, tires, or a combination of them at the end. It is very rare to have a death due to parachute failure or for that matter even in a crash. "If you have time to panic, you have time to do something more productive." Josh Whipple 7/15/70-2/10/05

  16. You are the one that knows your mechanical abilities. If you have done this sort of work on older non-computer controled cars it really is not that much harder. I would get a Haynes manuel. I have found the Chiltons to be a little to vague in their coverage. Read the chapter for the work and go from there. If you think you can do it get to it. If you are a little worried then see if you can get a friend to help. Just remember to check on the availability of parts before tearing it apart. Even check on parts you may not need like pushrods, rocker arms, head bolts(which probably are not reuseable), etc. Good luck. No I do not work for the above mentioned companys and this is not a sales pitch. I just like the Haynes manuels better. "If you have time to panic, you have time to do something more productive."

  21. If you were to compare the cost to repair an older v-8 to the newer v-6 you would find it to be about the same. It is still about 8-10 hours book time to do the work which is how the shop is going to charge. The main price difference is in the parts. The work required is the same on older and newer engines. You do need some additional special tools. However with good mechanical skills and a shop manuel it is not that hard to do. The GM v-6 is a good engine IF you take care of it. I have had 2 of them. One had over 200K on it before we got rid of the car and the other has 140K and still kicking. How many older cars (1980 and older) do you know that can get 25+ MPG with close to 0 emissions. Even if you get into the late 80's and early 90's they were just starting to get there. "If you have time to panic, you have time to do something more productive." Josh Whipple 7/15/70-2/10/05
  22. Since it did not overheat you probably did not warp the heads but when they remove them they should, and probably will, check the surface for flatness. It is possible to have an external coolant leak without actually blowing the headgasket. The cylinder is sealed by a steel compression ring that is part of the headgasket. The coolant passages are not therefore they can leak on the outside and still seal the combustion chambers. I would not switch the coolant types. You could cause more harm than good if you do.
