I forgot to mention this the other day but I got rid of my shitty RainX wipers for some cheap wipers I got at Walmart. The cheap ass wipers are doing a better job than those shitty Latitudes. I should've listened. Oh well.

Bosh Icons for the win!

@JDM - Dam, that sucks about your daily. And I was just kiddin.

@Bobby - Haha, Thats so funny. Sry man that sucks, I did the same thing and then got raped for the install on the front and back bars.

@Mike - Hells yeah! They are all I've used on any of my cars. I think the last set lasted 2 years or so. I just hit em with the little alcohol cleaning wipe every couple months. Cheesy

I've always said the Rain-X Latitudes sucked balls. I'll never get anything but the Bosch Icon's. They're so much better.

Pulled the battery and intake. Removed the front bumper and drained the coolant from the radiator. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

Same here.
On another note, not my car but I broke into mom in law's truck to get her keys out.
Hopefully today I put my car on a lift and install my TLS RSB, change my oil and find the flat spot on one of my tires.

I picked up my car yesterday, it's going back on Monday. I'm annoyed at a few things.

I pulled the axles, pushed it over into the corner of the garage, put it up on jack stands, and pulled off the header. I'll probably do a few more things later today. Here's how it sits at the moment.

Rotated and washed my wheels during the process. Nice and squeaky clean now!

Aren't they great! Do you have an exhaust or anything?

Not yet. A ghetto short ram for now until Paul makes his next batch of intakes. The un-resonated intake echos a good amount through the tunnel which sounds great to me but is nothing compared to you guys with nice exhausts! I'll get there one day...

I pulled the motor out today and took the cams out and found out what went wrong. Here's what I found.
The first sign that the valve stem was broken. The spring on the left kept uncompressing as I loosened the cam caps. When I pulled the cams out and raised up the rocker, I was able to pull the retainer right off.

Here's the retainer with the top of the valve stem and keepers still in place after I pulled it off the valve spring.

You can see the rest of the valve stem if you look inside the valve springs.

Here's a better look at the damage up top. I'm worried about what I find when I pull the head.
