Well, WE ALL know the knowledge that Jay brings to the table. Not sure middle of nowhere Missouri knows THE TRUTH yet

Get you one of these. I put a couple of strong rubber bands around it where it grips the spring so it wouldn't come off.

Picked up this tool and ordered some of the umbrella style valve seals this week. Hoping to do this job with my son this winter. Need to pick up a service manual for the blazer so that I know all the torque specs and whatnots

Got the clutch job wrapped up last weekend and he’s been back to driving it this week. She’s better than she was when he bought it so that’s a good thing. I think his next project on the rig is I’ll be helping him replace the valve stem seals that I’ve mentioned and he wants us to put an exhaust on it.

Also, my parents are getting him an exhaust kit with 2.5” pipes on it that has a few bends in it and whatnots so we can kinda make our own system. Should be a find little project. Anyway, that’ll all happen after Christmas
