Replaced all the vacuum lines w/ silicone, replaced that torn coil pack boot, and did a compression test on it last Saturday just so I know where its at. Was a cold engine compression test and it seems to be good, 160, 145, 150, 152, and 160. The 145 raises an eyebrow a little but having one cylinder kind of low is pretty standard, not too bad for 160k. Replacing those things didn't make much diff (if any), still have that fricking hesitation or choke up to around 2500rpm.

Just out of curiosity, why do you guys go w/ the silicone over standard rubber lines? They last longer?

Also ordered the new style oil dipstick, mine is pretty ghetto (electrical tape replaces the o ring) and doesn't lock in very well anymore.

Silicone looks fast, it's race car approved and it Makes girls panties wet.

Reason enough?

And rubber vac doesn't come in blue

Kinda what I thought. The silicone lines a more pliable, but they feel like they'll fall apart quicker than the rubber ones. Just curious.

False. Provided oil or fuel doesn't get on them, silicone will last waaaaaaaay longer.

That being said, I just like blue.

That 'perfect' hood I got on ebay that only had car wash swirl marks... not so perfect. Ended up only paying $100 for it, now its over to my buddies for paint. Hood came from FL and it looks like bird crap baked into the paint in about 8 different spots, plus there were a couple dings in it. Anyhow, I'll be stripping and painting it.

At least you have enough carrots and onions to get through the winter.

The onions are actually apples, my friend hunts all the time so he has that for deer.
