Today is Melbourne cup day, a 6 million dollar 2 mile race for stayers.....holiday today, and yesterday....that means four days in a row, rather than spend some leisure time with my beloved I elected to swap the motor in my ute. It isn't urgent, but being off the road the ute has to be parked in the driveway, when it doesn't run AND i have a motor trans in the way it gets pretty annoying
A friend gave me a motor trans combo the same as what is in it, "bewdy" I thought I won't even have to swap the sump....
After I'd got up and down off the ground three hundred times(yes, doing it in the driveway as a certain bellytank is in the shed) It occurred to me that although it was a "rear" sump that maybe it wasn't the "right" ..."rear" sump.....putting a sump and timing cover gaskets along with a rear main on a Holden "red" straight six is easy on a full dismantle.....with the timing cover on and the motor hanging rather than on an engine stand makes it a sketchy job at the best of times..... that is all I am going to say about that.
Just did a benefit gig outside the Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre on a 10 minute call, thanks Dan, did the same on Sunday with twelve hours notice and played "S-s-s-ssingle bed" on the radio.......
Time to go to the pub and have my one punt of the year, to the Organ Failure Lounge at the Brawlbrook Hotel in Braybrook.
BTW: I can't see any logic in the rule change for the bike liners, none.
