Gonna do it tomorrow, and some other odds and ends--my only day off. This job gives me no time for anything now.

I know the feeling. Between work and family I have to take advantage of free time to the fullest each moment I get. Looking forward to hearing if your next attempt actually fixes this issue.

Didn't do everything I wanted to do today. I did do the new belt, and I messed with the new idler pulley.
I removed the original concave washer and used a smaller flat washer.
I noticed the idler wasn't spinning with the old washer, thus the smaller, flat washer--spins now. I'm hoping that's the fix.
Spins good now.

Running fine, hoping it stays that way.
I also FINALLY emptied the catch can.
This is probably from 3 oil changes, which were 2500-3000 miles. Not too bad. I also added some steel wool, along with the filter that was in there.

There was some sludge on the bottom of the catch can too.
I tried tightening up some of the tabs in the tps pigtail. Also put a nice gob of dialectic grease in there.
And finally--redipped the grill. Was looking pretty ragged.
Redid the amp wire--was having some issues with it--no pics tho.

I went to the new Tractor Supply. Saw these--
Picked these up--
I just needed the long snips, no idea what I could use that other tool for. I think it's some kind of fence snip deal. Anyone know what it is? Gonna try to wind my day down now, gotta wake up 4:30 am. Another long Sunday for me.

That's an all-in-one for cattle fencing. You'll look more legit when you tuck it into your thong or chaps for your Saturday night visits to Club Feathers.

Hmmm, wonder why my catch can has the sludge on the bottom of it.
I wonder what the bottom of my oil pan looks like.

It's just crud in your oil that settled out of suspension. The bottom of your oil pan will have a thicker layer.
Well, maybe not since your motor isn't original. I'm sure the pan would've been cleaned if they took it off.
