Cummins/82 C10

[ellis93]

No pics but I did polish the air horn today,it turned out well. Tomorrow I'll try to get the wh1c apart and polish the front cover. Also I bought some of that 2k degree paint for the exhaust housing and manifold. I'm guessing we'll see how that holds up . I'm gonna sandblast the housing and manifold first then cover them thick.

Work is slacking up some.....my wallet won't like it but I could certainly use the slack time up on the engine.

Freakin machine shop is dragging ass on my dang timing case too. Called today and they haven't even touched it yet.....this is the reason I want a tig machine

[ellis93]

Can y'all see where I'm going here

That paint on the exhaust mani is that 2k° stuff for headers,I've used it before on some old hooker headers and it held up till the rust came back
I will never polish another intake housing again,next time I'll just paint it

Now I gotta call the damn machine shop and find out just how much longer theyre gonna hold my timing case ransom,I swear im buying a tig machine the next opportunity I find a used unit.

Sorry your creativity is quit lame :p .

I polished what most paint......son!

You're going for a faux N14 or what?

Ya know you can buy a spool gun for a MIG. At least Lincoln offers them...

[ellis93]

I know Caleb,I just want a tig machine. Nicer welds,and I believe the strength of the weld is superior as mig can produce air pockets,but in truth idk. Im a mechanic.....not a welder

The machine shop totally screwed me,they only welded the outside and not the inside . Freakin morons,what kinda retard does it take to screw up simple directions. I'm so mad..........

Post up a pic in a few.....so freakin screwed up it ain't funny.

[ellis93]

Gorilla turd weld

And not even a the decency to do the inside like I asked him too........a 30min conversation over what I needed to happen.....what an rectum ranger

Really tho.....it's too hard to unbolt the front cover,that was holdin the case together, to weld up the boss and crack?

He was just the one with the biggest mouth

I got it fixed this afternoon......yeah me the fine chap I had do it this time took a flapper wheel to the damn gasket surface for the cover sonafa

To top things off I tried to cut the end of my index finger off of my right hand....with my "whenever I feel like it" locking pocket knife. Folded up and cut right to the dang bone

Want a pic? It's awesome,feels awesome too!

I wouldn't have paid for it. I would have made them finish it while I waited and made sure I was real loud, especially if there are other customers around. WTF is it with machine shops? It always takes weeks and weeks to do even simple stuff. I'm so glad I have a buddy that owns one. I drop stuff off on friday night and have it done on sunday. If he's busy it may take a couple extra days. Sometimes I drop it off and we BS while he does what I need, if it's something small.


Gee, maybe this is what's wrong?

Ellis, BTDT on the finger. Remember the pics on FB?

Pete.....I didn't pay either time
Both knew I was not happy


Yeah I remember that finger damage you had,honestly I'll take sliced finger over mashed finger. You still win

[ellis93]

Things are shaping up,orange is being toned down.....Pete!

Hopefully I can pop the old injectors tomorrow and get them and the rest of the fuel system together.

And since everybody has a shop buddy I'll post mine these days

[ellis93]

I can't help it, I was raised up a Dodge Boy and there is something wrong with seeing that color on that engine.

FYI...it was supposed to be beige anyhow not the ever impressive flake-o-matic black paint job dodge put on them. What am I ever gonna say to change your opinion....... Haters gonna hate
