oh, and not leaving you out either!!


..but really, I can't complain to much. We have had some nasty winters in the past, with way too much snow. This year has been mild so far, and I am super thankful for that. We are to be back in the mid 30's this week. I don't mind that, it's the -13 I hate!

and gas is $1.34 for 87 octane now.

Well when ya'll have been having nice weather is winter it was in the teens here. It sucks when this is our nice time of the year and we are getting such crappy weather. It is like you having snow in the summer.

Lucky you, we are still sitting at $2.50 (regular). Probably wont go much lower for us because they know people will pay for it.

I believe I have a rocker arm failure. all of a sudden on my drive home for lunch the car started running rough so I pulled over immediately and shut it off. I've replaced the plugs, and put my stock tb on and those seemed to help a bit. Another issue was when we pulled off the tb there was some odd gel like stuff which I think was gas but I am not too sure. It smelt of gas like crazy but the car still runs, has oil pressure, but sounds like there's a knock which leads me to believe it's a rocker arm. But this no CEL thing is really throwing me off. Gonna pull the drivers valve cover off and check things out as that's where it seems like the noise is coming from.

I would think it more likely to be a Rod or bearing.

Generally Rocker Arms don't just come loose unless something else has caused it to. Good luck.

Sounds like a lifter failure.

Yeah I'm not sure. We weren't able to get the valve cover off so who knows but it's at a shop and hopefully they will be able to look at it tomorrow

Lol I would. If I don't have my car back before this snow hits on Friday then I might just be staying home as well. Mostly because I don't want to drive my moms van in the snow and risk hitting anything
