I pulled it wrong like a dumbass... theres only one wheel thats actually done nicely... but it's not gonna be on long =... maybe a few weeks at most..

I pulled the tape too late after I had wet it leaving the cuts and bullcrap. I mean, I'd do it over, but thats a lot of shii to do lol... Idk, I may leave that for something to do this week so I'm not soo bored
 
So what did you ever do about the overheating problem? don-ohio :)^)

Nothing, my friend came over and just added full strength coolant and bled the air for a bit.

So pretty much thats at a standstill until I go back to the yard and get the parts. Which I'm hoping I can do next week.

I've given up trying to get the actuator out and changing the fan for now. I'm just gonna go straight for the pump as a whole and swap it out completely. Then I'm going to go back and put the new old fan back in and see if it turns. From there, I'm gonna have to find another fan if it stands still after all of that.
 
Changed the valve cover gasket, spark plugs, and coil packs and the dipstick came out.. had to go to a shop to put it back in.. thank God they were across the street. Got hella war wounds on every finger and in every crevice. Faawwwkkk

Lol, they aren't real war wounds. My real ones have healed and left scars from replacing my last engine lol... so those are nothing, just very inconvenient where they are placed lol.

However, the last owner took the cds out before my eyes when I bought the car that day. So I'm mot understanding the issue here. Its completely empty. I can even slide one inside...

What.... the.....fawk...

Idles rough. I just changed out 5-8. Then I come to a stop at a light and it cuts off. I would think it's a vacuum leak, but I got scanned for 1,3,8, misfire. I haven't heard of a mifire cutting off the engine. Is that possible? I'm about to just change 1-4 right now while I have time... any input?

That's a water leak. How are your coil cover and cowl seals?

They looked like they had mad rust on them...the drivers side had water dripping into /onto the cover near the firewall when I replaced the gasket. I'm assuming that's it's bad?

Not to mention, I can't get those 2 spark plugs out of the head because there's nothing to grab onto

Have to clean the rust and "mud" out first.

But shouldn't there be something to grab onto even with that being there?? It looks as if the socket threads have rusted off or something .

It looks like the level of gunk in the bottom of the well is keeping you from getting down to the base of the plug where the hex feature that engages with the socket is. (I don't see the bottom of the well in that picture. For all I can tell, there may be gunk an inch deep there.) Besides that, you really don't want any of that stuff falling into the cylinder when you do get the plug out. You might try soaking it overnight with some PB blaster, them blast it good with a water hose, then vacuum everything out.

It's either this (gunk covering the base of the plug) or you are really screwed here.
