This March, I planned on replacing the cams, valve springs, and valve stem seals. I had hoped to do it all with the head still on the block by pressurizing the cylinders with my leakdown tester. Well the keeper remover sucked and I ended up dropping a valve down into the cylinder. Soooooo, I now needed to pull the head. I had to replace the head gasket, which required about 6 hours worth of prep work in my basement since I'm a broke college student who has time but not money.

I got it all back together and found the o-ring on the water pipe was leaking. I had to pull some stuff back off the block. When I finally got that leak fix, I fired it up and a fuel injector seal was leaking.

So what started as about 5 days worth of projects on my car turned into 8 and I missed the first 2 days of spring semester. Oh, and I ended up several hundred over budget. As usual.
