Puking rods
« on: January 17, 2006 - 11:13:13 AM »
Dunno if this qualifies in here as a "kill", but it was sure comical, read on

So buddy bugs the crap 'outa me for a Dragrace. I Should say at the start, he's a friend, and was/is extremely proud of his newly acquired '68 Camaro W/427 "cammed & built" RAT motor. Nice car too I'll admit. Anyways, on & on until I agreed, knowing full well that my "bone stock", unrestored, '68 383 Superbee ain't got a chance, as I'd even told him, but, just to "make his day", the SuperBee and I, could take the embarassment, It won't ruin my sexlife.
 
I gotta admit, racing between friends, can be "fun stuff" over a beer afterward for "old farts" like us, so I even brought another friend with me in the Dodge, further adding to my weight Dis-advantage.

On to the Racing ! With the usual shots being exchanged, burnouts completed, The Superbee lumbers forward with a minor patch of rubber laid, lays down for a second or two, then hits the sweet spot, and does a decent job accelerating, as they do, with the 4 bbl howling it's "warcry".
Meanwhile, Buddy, having lost the holeshot by sidestepping the clutch, and keeping goodyear in business smoldering the tires, finally catchs some asphalt and a "head to head" race ensues.

3 auto gears later for me, 4 shifts for him, The Superbee still had it's nose parked on his ass ! A Technical loss for sure, but far better than anyone could have thought !

NOW FOR THE COMEDY !!

This is continued from above "puking rods"

As the two cars are slowing down, around 50 mph, all that can be heard is the "GAWD AWFUL", but "DISTINCTIVE", clattering of Connecting Rods banging into what "they ain't Apposed to".

Buddy in the Camaro, sporting a grin from "ear to ear", shouts out the window to us "YOU'RE KNOCK'IN ! "

Gary, my passenger in the Superbee, shouts back laughing, " NO WE AIN'T "

Mr. Prize Camaro, still sporting the grin, then realizing the sigifigance of that statement, and, being the only OTHER CAR present at 50 mph, losses the grin, and with a look of concern, decides to downshift and investigate.

Unfortuneately, there was no time left, as simultaneously, the RAT motors guts puked out the pan, to get friendly with the asphalt at 50 mph !

Like I said, beer afterwards can be a hoot for old folks! Even sporting a "wet spot" from laughing at Buddy.

Another story; SAME GUY !

A few years prior to owning his "prize 68 427 Camaro", above "puking rods", Mr. DUFUS had a '70 Nova, Big Block of course !

After a few months of listening to the usual, endless, "awesome torque of the 454" Blah, Blah, Blah, over beers in the garage, (the NOVA was in the bodyshop for repaint), the "peach" finally is ready for unveiling.

"Retard", 'er "Richard", "Mr. Nova" in those days, was famous for scoring "the deal", from unsuspecting tradesman. He was the best at it !
Some poor schmuck Bodyman he found, had done a beatiful job on this car ! It was "show quality". Poor Guy probably lost his shirt doing that job 'cause the car was a "terd" prior to this job. Richard got the guy to do it for PEANUTS !

Anyways, one Saturday night at my garage, after "shoehorning" Retard's melon through the door, hours of endless "beer bragging" ensued, featuring an unrelenting "Bowtie rules" sermon, punctuated, by visual references to the "strategically positioned ", aforementioned, and repainted "NOVA" in the alley, we were looking at, through the open garage door.
We were all trying to give him his "moment of glory", but this was getting just "too thick". I was getting a headache! 
BLAH,  BLAH,  BLAH,   GAWD !   will this ever end ? 

Just when it was getting time to "shut it down" for the night, you guessed it ! He wants to prove his penile wood !

OH BOY !  Gotta "winde him up" for the finale !
Another beer worth of manhood, and "Retards" off  "like a terd of fuffalos"  for the SHOW !
He's chosen to grace our presence with a Burnout up the street !
YIPPEE ! This is gonna be GREAT methinks !

"Retard", having completed 4 or 5 "bunny hops", to insure our full and complete attention, (which didn't really matter 'cause none of us by then could even FOCUS our eyes), then proceeds to stab the "LOUD PEDAL" to 7000 ??, and sidesteps the NOVA's clutch !

I/We, still to this day,
aren't really quite sure if in fact the car actually MOVED or not !
What was CLEARLY apparent though, even in our drunken stupor !
 Was the left rear tire and wheel, EXITING the Quarter panel at HIGH VELOCITY, Depositing itself securely in the trunk floor directly behind the wheelhouse !
The jury is still out, but it's a "toss up", as to if the car traveled more feet vertically "up & down" crashing to the pavement, or horizontally.

The Five of us incapacitated drunken fools "peeing" ourselves,(beer), rolling around on the pavement, laughing hysterically,were of little help to poor "Retard", who, upon exiting his 1/4 crumpled NOVA, decides to "boot the door" for added "esthetical" humor to us, and hurt his foot in the process !

Man, those were the days ! Morale of the story; ALWAYS, ALWAYS, check the lugnut torque after you screw a bodyman !

Bob out.

DUNNO if this is "a kill" either, other than another dead Chebby, but here goes. TRUE STORY !

Anybody ever do something "Really Stupid", when re-building their engine ?

Semi Stupid ?

OK, how about just "Mildly Dumb" ?

And if "YES",

How long did it take 'ya to figure it out ?

"Retard", (Richard), YEP, SAME GUY AGAIN !, used to like to rebuild engines.

The following, is proof positive that the "GOOD LORD", does indeed watchs over the MOPARS, 'cause he, in his Infinite wisdom, decided to BLESS the chebby camp with DIMBULBS mechanical marvels.
Seems our LORD GOD, HAS a sense of HUMOUR !

So "Mr.Bowtie", Richard, decides on the "re-winde" for the NOVA motor.

Seems a "Cheque" musta fallen from heaven(GOD AT WORK), and the fridge, was already well-stocked with "BUD" and "Weiners", what else is Piston Head to do ?

A few hrs. later,  (He WAS FAST!, I'll admit that),  the 427 RAT motor is out, and strewn in a hundred pieces on the floor, punctuated by an oil slick the size of the Exxon Valdeez. Seems draining the oil first, costs "precious seconds" in the Final Scoring !
 
"Retard", practising his "figure skating" technique in the oil slick, (accomplishing at least 2 - "triple sow-cows" in the process), gathers up "the usual" critical pieces, Block, Crank, Pistons/Rods, etc., and it's off to the Machine Shop.

The car ride there, garnering the  "usual",

"YOU JUST WAIT ! ", (geez these foot pedals are slippery),

"GONNA SQUISH 'YER ASS ! ", (why are my toe-sies so gushy ? )

"I'll be a HERO", ( you smell oil ?)

 BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,      from the soon to be "PRINCE of POWER ".

Upon arriving at the Machine Shop, the owner greets us, pleasantries ensue, then "DIM-BULB" proceeds to spout last months issue of "SUPER CHEBBY" engine builds, thereby confirming, (in his mind at least), his pre-emininence of Engine Building, and, soon to be dominence, of the "HERO" moniker.
"Dumbfounded", the Machine Shop Owners only question was, "What are those footprints on my parking lot from your car ? "

The work is set, price and timetables agreed, another set of "footprints across the parking lot" are laid, and we leave.

Read on, now the humour begins, next post !

DUFUS, assembles his mill !

Bob out.

I'm back, got side-tracked and forgot !  Oooops.

So anyways, "Richy", gets his machined mill back from the shop one morning, probably convinced the shop owner to take a "post dated" cheque from the girlfriend, 'cause he'd already run out of weiners and beer by then, and a guys GOTTA EAT !
 He calls and says "I'm starting", like I'm supposed to click the stopwatch or something ? He Was fast, I'll admit that again !

Phones back about 10 hrs later to proclaim "It's IN" ! Like I'm supposed to re-click the stopwatch again, and phone the GUINESS people ?
 OK, OK, I'll be right over for the fireup, so you can "take a bow" or something !

20 minutes later I'm at his "garage" ??
He'd managed to squeegey the oil slick into the alley, darned if it wasn't like he said, Black NOVA with new RAT motor installed. Looked good too, it had a "Chevy Orange" pearl overspray all over the body ! A few more button ups and the key was turned !

The NOVA fired right away ! Never seen that from one of the "tards" vehicles, never even had to "drag it" around with the half ton to get it going, or anything !

Peculiar thing though, was that as fast as it fired, the dipstick and PCV Valve exited their respective homes ! Push 'em back in, POOOOOF !
As fast as you could stick them in, they'd re-exit !

GEEZ RICH, Seems to have some "BLOW BY"  says me.

CHROME RINGS !, retorts Hero.

20 minutes, and a half roll of duct tape later, we've got the "stick" and "valve covers" sorta sealed up. We're off for the inaugural "test flight".
I can tell from the "poo-eat'in" grin on RICHY's face that he wants to "make me cry like a girl" with an awesome display of CHEB power !
After explaining to him "that only wimps wear Bowties", ( he didn't GET IT ),        We're off !

'I's dotted, "T's' crossed, we make our way. As we're driving out to "garden road", Theres the unmistakeable smell of putrid "spent gases" inside the car.

Geez Rich, still seems to have some "Blow-by", I says.

CHROME RINGS !, take awhile to seat ! he says.

Upon arriving at "the road", HERO boy, rips into the CHEB for about 7,000 rpms !

With a resounding "thunk" the clutch hits, and the NOVA groans forward.

GASPING FOR AIR ! All I can do is reach for the "WINDOW CRANK" as "Meathead" continues his assault on the poor MUNCIE 4 spd ! Oblivious to the "PUTRID WIND ENGULFING THE CAB"

The Car FILLED with smoke THAT FAST !

By 3 rd gear, Retards loosing consciousness, and he can't SEE or BREATHE either, so he relents, the car slows, and the cab clears.

"Cough,.. HACK,... GAGG",... Man, this things making "WIND", or some "BLOW-BY",  I says again.

Mr BOWTIE, not one to even admit the "remote" possibility of an error in "CHEVYLAND", and still musing if I'd phoned the GUINESS people yet for the "record"

"GAGG,...HACK,... Cough", "CHROME RINGS !", He sputters, then, using his other good brain cell, he decides to "pull over" so we could "Take a Boo".

As we exit the "ve-hick-el", theres the unmistakeable stench of oil burning on headers, and telltale smoke with it, emanating from the NOVA's hood.
"Mr Bignuts", pops the hood, and we're witness to more "OIL on the outside of the motor than inside". It was EVERYWHERE ! Dripping off the hood, inner fenders, you name it ! Also, 2 lbs of oily duct tape that had lost it's sticky and was hanging all over !
Dipstick and anything else was "Pooofed out" too !

Not one to "HAVE SOME FUN" with Lardasses "NOVA-OIL", and trying my best to be "sympathetic" to his newfound requirement for an OIL company stock, I humbly asked, "JUST HOW LONG DO THOSE CHROME RINGS TAKE TO SEAT". Upon checking the "puked" dipstick, 2 quarts were "gone", which we luckily had in the trunk for replenishing the CHEB.

Remember, I didn't wanna walk home, and "RETARD" was a bit "TESTY" at that point. Besides, he had beer back at the garage. 

"CHROME RINGS !" was all he could manage.

20 odd minutes later, and a few more "speed cranks for the windows" as we drove home, it was fairly obvious that either something was drastically wrong internal of the motor, or, I was "gonna get my lights punched out" for laughing at the wonder "NOVA-OIL" ! I was "peeing my pants" and hadn't even had beer yet !
By the time we got home, the NOVA-OIL was happily "clacking" away as it was low on Oil again ! TEHEHE ! This was too much !
Many beers ensued over the course of the next coupla hours. I was extremely sympathetic to RETARDS problems, ...

UNTIL.....

While depositing another "empty beer can" on the bench in the garage, I happened to notice,

WHATS THIS....

A fresh pack of "Piston Rings" amongst the rest of the clutter on the bench !

"HEY RICHY ! What kind of Rings are those in your MOTOR ?" As I held up the paper pack of 2 compression and 1- 3 pc oil Ringset, for one PISTON.

"CHROME RINGS !" he spoke as he turned around and saw what I was holding !

This is a TRUE STORY. The names were NOT changed to protect anybody. Yes, I in fact lost control of my bladder at that point.  BEER !   END of story !

FC out.
