JOhnno, Make sure to turn it over by hand, first,( spark plugs out)   to not tempt Murphy into testing how many  valves he can bend against the  pistons ( interference due to mis-timed cam).
Merry Christmas.

.  It's funny, when I pulled the sump cover, I found lots of little bits and broken pieces that must have went wrong. Maybe when I pull the head I'll find out what they were.

.... will continue


THat would probably be pieces of the timing chain guides which all need to be  R&R'd while you're in there. I don't believe  your initiall assessment.  Ask your NIssan Forum buds about any TSB's/ recalls for it for your model and year. To top it off, all the bits and pieces you are talking about doesn't make me feel too happy about your oil pump and  galleries that Murphy has clogged/will clog again- just waiting for you to put it  all back togetther to start up- all those bits and pieces you missed will recirculate and clog galleries and bearing shells in  new places like rod/crank  bearings, cams, hydraulic chain tensioner, oil pump.

For the price of all parts you  will be replacing, headache  of labor, new headaches when it all goes back together, newer headaches when you try to drive it any distance -you could get something running@ auction...

:tisk-tisk: Nano, schmano,  I'm sure they work ......
wear a big straw hat and pour water inside it, periodically.... 30% of your blood flow goes to  your head.


Water and sweat has been cooling bodies for  a kabillion years.

This new shirt doesn't do anything new.

Only problem is in kalif you will get ticketed for not filing in your holes and the environutz will definately utilize this post for bad miner PR--don't shoot the messenger just a plain simple stinkn' fact-John

  Now, now, don't be so quick to judge, JOhn . I live in CAli and those  rock "gabions" protect the stream/" riparian area"  from clogging with sediment.

My thoughts and prayers are with you  and your family, Johnno.   Kudos to those that have pledged their help  where it counts.

I'm usually quite shy about expressing my feelings  in these matters and  have struggled to... well just struggled during similar more personal experiences in the past.

ANyway, I searched for an appropriate prayer.
Here  is where I landed:
http://usinfo.org/re...ches/prayer.htm
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

A Father Prayer by General Douglas MacArthur (May 1952)


Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be; a son who will know Thee ?and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.
Lead him I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail.
Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.
And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength.
Then, I, his father, will dare to whisper, have not lived in vain.

#171618 Can anyone help...I found this rock....

Posted by weaver hillbille on 09 March 2012 - 02:27 PM

It has been a running joke in my household for the last couple of days too....   "Leaverite Streamataceous Cobbleite" I love it.....

In this case, the" cobbleite" is redundant and subordinate to "Leaverite"( the more omnipresent 'descriptive')

As such, the proper nomenclature should read, " Streamataceous  Leaverite var." cobbleite"
Thankyou, GOldfinger  for the correction.
