Chiro- another Croatian AE86

[mrgud]

2 Ivan & Vlad thanx... I got to admit, those guys are of big help... I would of give up, or postponed the job, but this way its funn all night

The head is on!!!

Last night I wanted to take the head of and to take it to the machining in the morning. But I hadn't had the tools to doit (remember the 12 side socket?)...

Fortunately since beeing a EVO magazine part-time worker, Branimir (cheef editor) let me use a test Mazda 3 for a few days to get back on track. May I remind you, both of my cars died... Starlet had eaten his distributor and I hadn't have a spear, since everything was closed till saturday, I was paralized...

So I set in the Mazda, went to Zax. He gave me the socket but we werent sure if that will fit trought to the bolt... Got the momentum wrench and set off home (from me to Zax's place it is about 50km)... So, I got home, but the socket could't get trough... I was mad and mizerable... Fortunately, as I was speaking to Meshin earlyer about the problem, he mentioned it to Riza (english Rice he is a Honda lover-mechanic-freak dude that has almost everything Proxon Tools can offer).
Riza called me, said: "I GOT THE TOOLS!!! WHERE AND WHEN!!???"

So Meshin, Riza, Pale, Marin, Mario and Tom came to my girlfriend's place, brought the tools and the head was off in a blink of an eye...

Than Riza got ainctious... He couldn't wait till tomorow... He did some 5 engines for street race just by cleaning the gasket leftovers down and putting the new gasket on... and the cars run still... So he persuaded us all to do it all in one night... He said that the car will fire and run till 3am

He and I got to work, the rest were making the atmosphere... just talking about cars, races and drags on everyday driving... it was fun... cold (outside was some - but fun...
Anyways the head was on, tightened, with camshafts till 3 o'clock...
I didn't had the exhaust gasket and some hoses were broken during the process so I had to buy new ones... but if i did had it all Chiro would fire around 3,30 and we would be on a test drive... amazing!!!

Today is the next episode, althought I will be working alone (if I find the will because I had only 4hours of sleep)... Tomorow, more likely...



Will my Hachi fire? Will it work? How long will it take me to do the job?
Find out in the next few posts of "Chiro- another Croatian AE86"...

comming up soon- how we all got drunk and sang kumbaya by the heater in the garage while mending my car LOL...

2 Mr Monster- just take 1L of rum, heat it up a bit and put some tea bags in to take the flavour (just kiding...- ordinary fruit tea with some 1/5 ratio of rum...)
