is now online (at least today and tomorrow.)

If you want to see my garage and my cars, and possibly even catch me working out there... type this into your browser:

http://71.194.154.8:28000 and hit enter.

user = team
p/w = camaro

It will want you to OK the install of an avtiveX control or two, and then the video, camera controls, and possibly even audio will come up!

This is a fairly high end pan tilt zoom camera, so have fun. Let me know if anything doesn't work, and for sure let me know if the audio does work,

Thanks Steve (eville) for helping me test this yesterday.

thats cool .. too bad it did'nt work for me .. will check later.

Jody

wont connect here either :(
My live webcam should be back online this next week too, on the river :)

nope

Wasn't loading for me either, kept my mouth shut until others said same, as I figgered it was just my s/w:D

I have so much crap in this pewter, and all of it fighting each other. 4 yrs old + and need a new one but I don't want that PITA either.

Just tried but nothing yet...

well hell. I'll check things on this end again. Click or Jody, call me on my cel to help work it out?

OK, found the problem, typed the wrong *&&@#$ IP address! I fixed the link above, should work now. here it is again:
Jim's garage cam (http://71.194.154.8:28000)

I can only get the snapshot pic.

I get it now, seems to be working, lookin good. You use Windex too!?

pretty cool Jim

:thumbsup::hurray:

Can you guys move the camera?

lmao... seems you can, cause it's MOVING!!

I waved back
I was movin it

Hell I'm havin a smoke wicha too

cool. wonder how many can get on at once?

Thats neat & all but it,s not somthing I would want in my shop. I mean the everbody watching me do everything part , like when I smash my thumb with a hammer, drop cylinder head on foot ect, ect.

yep works fine putting a new shelf up in by the big ladder?
Good ladd even use a level huh
And you are one of the elite 10% of the world to ...left handed
Steps

Big smile you are on Candid Camara m8 lol

Sure hope you don't fall off that ladder young man ;)

And close the hood on the rag-top, you're giving people 'Chrome envy' :D

Hummmm - I never thought of putting a camera in the shop, I usually have Kalif looking over my shoulder when working on a Camaro lately anyway :yes:

Asking for username and password??????????

That's pretty cool!! Now stop posing for the camera and answer my PM!!!

Joe

Was watchng up out up the shelf by the ladder
left handed huh elite 10% of the world

Thats neat & all but it,s not somthing I would want in my shop. I mean the everbody watching me do everything part , like when I smash my thumb with a hammer, drop cylinder head on foot ect, ect.
I really don't mind tht. I've been making an idiot of myself on this forum for years. We're all human, and **** happens.
And yup, step, need a couple new shelves for all the parts that will shortly come flying off my vert. Anyone wanna pop over and help me with the hood?

Yep hang on a minute m8 just have a shower get dressed 7:30 am here will be over yesterday ..its new years day here now

Yep hang on a minute m8 just have a shower get dressed 7:30 am here will be over yesterday ..its new years day here now

So how is 2008? :D

Tell me about it, was the party good. I need to know everything so I can tell everyone tonight what's going to happen before it does :D

Joe

That's pretty darn slick Jim. I think it's going to kill your bandwidth until this thread dies or the novelty of it wears off :D

We get the sound..when 1 user was on line me the sounds was sort of ok but bit broken up...then get a couple users and goes to crap
At 5 users lost the connection...maybe turn sound off
with more than 1 person using the Pan sort gets a bit hard.out of control so just letting others play

How about some info on this little gem Jim......After having my shop broken into and Camaro parts stolen, this might be a good idea. Does it record? About the bandwidth. Does that slow "your" connection?

Joe

Cant get on, keeps comin up object protected. What ever that means.

Well, itsa Dlink 5300G. Set me back about 300 clams. Originally bought it for security, but this is kinda fun. Nice to know my buds are keeping trac of me. Maybe I'll do better work knowing you'all are watching.

You might get a lot of... "I wouldn't have done it like that" 's :D

That's cool.:thumbsup:

Cancer sticks.... Thats bad :(

Dam nice garage. :thumbsup:

I could get this to work with IE7 and the active update, but can not get it to work with Mozilla Firefox. Hmmm! :confused:

Got audio but its very choppy.

I have a set up using a Geovision 4 camera card in one of my Computers
4 static cameas
The geovisin gives me heaps of opitions including doing what jim is doing
record motion sensitive able to mask number plate reconition etc
Choosing type of camera is important espec the vocal piont
most cheaper camaers are 3.5mm but these are wide veiw and no distance defintion so mine are 6 mm 12mm and 18mm

Cost of cameras card cable 250 gig hd (3 months recording) $1500 NZ about $1000 US

I just watched you play with the hood, along with a lovely lady in a white sweater and a young man in an orange shirt.

Neat.

When I first logged on everything was still and the hood was up but on the '67. Five minutes later the hood is off and you're turning wrenches. Was it buffered up with some old shots or something?

Jim at work as seen from New Zealand
http://www.kakariki.net/camaro/Jim.jpg

:eek: WOW - I don't have a 'Lava Lamp' in my shop ... :D

I take it you garage is heated Jim :thumbsup:

I wonder how many other garage cams pop up this week...

Just got in and my kudo's to you. Nice, very nice!

Happy New Year guys............

Can I borrow your weed eater? :D

yup, of course my garage is heated!

I need to see what needs to be done with "settings" right now I have video to "medim" and audio on. I may turn the audio off if it's screwing things up.

The camera should be live at 30 frames per second all the time. That's what I get when I look at it inhouse. I'm pretty sure frames get dropped depending on connection speed. I have no idea how multiple viewers affect the bandwidth. The camera is streaming audio and video constantly. It doesn't affect our network here, but the cable upload speed is not exactly blazing so I don't know what's getting out.

For now, all I did to put it live was determine my WAN ip address, and open a few ports in the router.

OH BTW, it's lunchtime.

My firefox wont load it, my IE7 is trying now but wont complete a load yet after 5 min. I will keep trying. It finally asked me for adding activeX which I allowed. Its still trying to complete a connection.
Jim I know you are aware of this, its like having a milkshake and handing out straws, the more straws (viewers) the less there is of the milkshake (video/audio) to share. As more guys log on your router, its really gonna dog down the system on your end. If you had T1 or Fiberoptic with 100meg service it would help :D

Now Im in and see you there :)

You need to edit your notice at top of the clip for date and time, Its way off on date :)
picky picky picky I know. Cool tho.

Can't get there from here, password protected.

was at the top, Don.

user: team
p-w: camaro

I'm trying to get into the admin on the camera, turn off the audio and cut back the frame rate a bit. No idea how many are on it now, but it won't let me in either!!!

There were 5 users just a minute ago.

ok, I got in, turned off the audio and cut back the video rate a bit. Camera just rebooted and is back online.

I logged off and waited a few min, then went back in, got right through, it said 4 users online now... but got right into it again. :)

Hey I see Carol is ordering a new $15,000 digital camera system online too :D :beers:

You may want to turn off access to the pan and tilt controls as well. Folks are competing to look around and that will also eat up band width. :) Just let it pan back and forth and leave it at that.

Oh, sorry - I had to leave your site for a few minutes to go whip up a batch of brownies (I'm licking the bowl right now ;) )and get a large glass of milk ...
Where are you Jim - come on entertain us ...
Wife keeps asking if I don't have anything else to do :D

My firefox wont load it, my IE7 is trying now but wont complete a load yet after 5 min. I will keep trying. It finally asked me for adding activeX which I allowed. Its still trying to complete a connection.

Yeah, I haven't been able to view the camera live yet either. IE7 with Vista. I can click and get snapshots though. Let us know when you get the T1 or Fiber ;)

ok ok... slavedrivers! About all that's left topside is the header bolts and dipstick, then it will be time to crawl under. You all can watch my feet for a while.

I think you guys locked it up. It hasn't moved ina while, and I get nuttin when I try to view from here, I'm gonna reboot it.

Jim...

I think your tool box or your car is on the wrong side of the room :) You are wearing out a path to the toolbox :D


Kev

Jim...

I think your tool box or your car is on the wrong side of the room :) You are wearing out a path to the toolbox :D


Kev

ROTFLMFAO!!! Ye, Kev, I think you're right. I thought about putting the vert on the other side, then thought it might be better where it is, cause it's gonna be imobile for a while...

Plugs looked like crap, she running richer than I thought with that carb.
I won't miss the angle plug heads, hafta take the headers off to get more than 3 plugs out.
Why is the last header bolt on the pass side so hard to remove?
I sure did get that dipstick tube in there good the last time...

Not cool... you bent over and your crack was showing... you had paper towel in your hands? maybe cleaning your rims or something..

now your jacking up the car... see a motorola razor on the counter next to a hex drive screw driver and some windex and blow nozzle

Congratulations Jim, this is the craziest thread of the month!

Hey I seen a feild mouse running across the floor!:(

Congratulations Jim, this is the craziest thread of the month!

Why thank you Scott, I do aim to please!

Sorry for the crack guys... been trying to keep my behind pointed in the other direction... it was spilled antifreeze.

I hope I don't regret not pushing her back before the wheels came off, got a lil over 2 feet between the bumper and the garage door, hope the more than 5 between the front and the wall is enough to get the motor and trans out.

I am done for tonight. Time to get cleaned up and head for the sister in law's house for new years eve. I'll be out bright and early in the AM, you can watch my feet while I pull the headers, block drains, driveshaft, speedo cable, and gearshift. Hope to have the ole 383 on the stand by noon, but it will probably be more like 3.

I'll leave the lavalamp on fer ya!

g'night all!

Hey I seen a feild mouse running across the floor!:(

Damn! I thought he was gone!
Gonna need our winters supply of sticky traps.

yeah well I got a can of crack spackle Ill lend ya !:D

Cancer sticks.... Thats bad :(

If I had a cam in my garage one of you bastards would probably call the fire dept.

But....this is my self-proclaimed last year (turn 50 in 08') after 35yrs of smoking ;)

Jim, I tried it soon after you posted this earlier today. I had to click on/off of the still shot to see changes when I used the pan. In other words, no streaming. I'm using FireFox too. I will try it again.

Next thing we know....Jim has his own TV show :beers:

Too Cool Jim!

I was showing my son and asked me if was a Christmas present that you got :D

Cool Jim... Online tech sessions are next! :D

Very Cool...Thanks for Sharing & Have a Happy New Year !

... Plugs looked like crap, she running richer than I thought with that carb.
...

So that 850 is a little big Jim :p
The new heads and mods will probably support it better :thumbsup:
Or - I can help you trade for another one ...

Sure seems dark in there after my last look :D
Have a fun New Years party Jim, I'll be looking on to see how much progress you are making @mid-day :yes:

Come to think on it, next time we do another 'Intervention' out this way we'll have to rig up a camera so everyone can help!

now i know why he did his garage over...

it was all a trick for his online show...

Soon Team Camaro will be moving onto Video Chat (man, remember when chat was used a lot...)

Jim;
Cool video function. Now get out there and get that hood back on and get her running!
Ooops sorry!

Todd

Jim, whats with the green beer bottles? Motor on floor yet? I see the vette now. Probably need to get some sponsorship from Overhauling.

I guess if it was a bedroom cam that video would only run for about a minute and a half LoL! . Good luck there jimbo .
Mark. ps i don't see that blower laying around there .

Ouch Mark, that hurt :D but maybe true ;)

Well he's online 24 7 365 i don't then works on his car in his spare time . Maybe thats the way the wife likes it .
Mark.

Cant get on, keeps comin up object protected. What ever that means.

same here

He said in his last post he was turning it off until tomorrow morning when he goes back into the garage to finish unbolting before yanking his engine out :) no more tonight.

nice:hurray:

guess he left is running while he was at sister in laws. :) I see his camaro waiting for him :D

you guys are a scream....

Happy new year!

Neat!

I soooooooooo wished I hadn't seen this thread. Now I have camera envy. :D I can see a use for several.... some for home use, some for business. Just never pulled the trigger. I can already hear the comments from the peanut gallery.

Come on we want to watch you work on your car please ! .

JIM JIM JIM

your still not going to be able to catch Santa dropping off any neat parts with a web cam :)

Very cool by the way

Guess I missed the party ??? :D

Damn, me too! :(

I'm gonna reboot the cam, The chevelle guys are having trouble getting in. I'm off to Walamrt, wrenching will continue in a couple hours.

Hey Jim when you was at walmart there was some women... I assume your wife did you do something to her? I think I seen her cutting your brake lines mite wanna check that out

for anybody just joining in to this regularly scheduled program

http://71.194.154.8:28000/

user = team
p/w = camaro

jim hurry run quick --- your garage is spinning

Right about Jim being on line , wrenching on car, doing other stuff 24/7/365, does he ever have time to work? Must be a great job.

Ok, somethings causing this page to be prompted to log in on Jim's camera when the page loads... ???

Found it! the picture linked above is on Jim's camera server and was forcing a password prompt when accessing this page...

Cam doesn't work for me.
I give up!
Instead of watching Jim work on his Camaro, I'm going to work on my 68.

Well, that was the Walmart trip from Hell! $540 and 3 hours later, I finally get to sit down and relax again. We need to get a big pot of chili started for dinner, then I need to either find or go buy some engine stand bolts. I still hope to get er out today.

Carols says" bring it in the house, they can watch us cook chili"

ok, why not, gonna turn it off a minute, brb.

what is this the food channel

http://www.recipeland.com/recipe/3829/

Hey Jim, nice to see you again.:D

If there are more than one of us online are we fighting to move the cam?

So this is now "Jim's Kitchen Cam" ...
Can't wait to hear the "BAM" when the spicey stuff goes in the chilli :D

btw - I just finshed the last bowl of Prime Rib Chilli I made the other night from the left over Christmas Prime :thumbsup:

OOHHH those chili beans! :eek:

i think he's sleeping under the car

Since im not going to be working on either of my cars this winter i figured i may as well sit in my living room and watch someone work on theirs. But..alas..i cant ever seem to get it to work.

btw - I just finshed the last bowl of Prime Rib Chilli I made the other night from the left over Christmas Prime :thumbsup:

LOL... We had Prime Rib tacos last night to finish off our leftovers John... :thumbsup:

I think deep down Jim wants to be on Big Brother.... ;)

LOL... We had Prime Rib tacos last night to finish off our leftovers John... :thumbsup:

Hmmmm - bet those were good :yes:

So can we now 'Vote' on how he modifies his car - and vote him off if he does sub-standard work :D

Check out whats going on tonight...


5243

Hmmmm - bet those were good :yes:
MMMMMM, the chili was good too.

So can we now 'Vote' on how he modifies his car
Sorry John, parts are all ready bought, hehe.

and vote him off if he does sub-standard work :D
I'll take that one, no problem. This time, I WILL CURE ALL THE OIL LEAKS!!!

Looks like I'm done for tonight. Super Mark may be able to swap motors in 4 hours, I got the better part of 2 days just getting that dirty oily thing out of there. I'm gonna leave her hanging from the hoist tonight, it will be easier cleaning off the trans that way. Wrestling TKO's is a beetch! Gotta find something to set that trans on when she comes off, thought about using my lil stool, but she'd fold right up. :(

So tomorrow I need to bring home:
Something to hold the trans about a foot off the floor.
4 3/8" bolts the right length for the engine stand, and a buncha washers.
A LOT of cardboard to put under there while I clean that mess off, to save my pretty floor.
4 1 ft square peices of 3/4" plywood to put under the jackstands, they're digging into the tiles a lil bit.

Any suggestions on something to clean that mess off?
It's mostly just oil, mixed with a lil road dirt, need something in a spray bottle, should just be able to hose it all off.

I steal the spray n wash from the laundry room at times. It'll take road tar off the exterior paint without hurting it, never left it on long but never had a problem.

MMMMMM, the chili was good too.

Jim, Good to hear you're dinner turned out well - now about this thing with 'Us' not having any input on this project ...
:D

Try "Oil Eater" cleaner, I buy it at CostCo.
The stuff works fantastic and doesn't hurt tile, carpet or anything I've found. (still don't how those grease stains got on the carpet ...)

Jim I got in a little late on this thread tonight. Pretty cool and thanks for leaving the light on! Hope to get to watch you work soon.

I think you left your drop light on...

The crowd was STUNNED as Jim pulled the engine and trans together, WITHOUT removing the front clip!!!!:hurray:

Looks like it is going well!...Jb

I just looked and thought I saw an engine layin there...Nice work. I gotta get me a good job and get a garage like that.

Oh, BTW... MY lovely wife made chili with ground TURKEY, no hot spices, and NO beans. She said something about a healthy new year!

YUCK, PFHEWWWY,:noway: quick gimmie a beer to wash away the taste!!! I am jealous of yall's chili!! Jb

If I had a cam in my garage one of you bastards would probably call the fire dept.

But....this is my self-proclaimed last year (turn 50 in 08') after 35yrs of smoking ;)



Have you heard about Chantix? it's amazing stuff...

Nice looking hood top convertable you got there Jim :D

Jim, you pulled motor and trans out together? Making me nervous, set it down on floor,please. Nice bass on wall. See you got the Cloyes cover.

I always pull em together Don, ain't into wrestling TKO's under the car. She's only 6 inches off the ground, the hoist will hold her, and it ain't far to fall.

Which lucky 5 saw the unvieling of the new AFR Eliminators?

They look nice!:D

I only saw you handling the dist in one hand and a green bottle in the other. Seems I can't view link up here at office like I can at home. Must be security reasons.

Ya know, this is a bit unfair for people like me out on the west. Most of the time I don't log on until the evening and, by that time, it's pretty late back there.... haven't got to see anything except a static garage. I think you should be required to work on your cars late at night at least twice a week so we out west can watch too.

All in favor of Jim pulling a midnight shift twice a week raise your hands :hurray:

I saw the AFR"S!!! WOW!!

Have you heard about Chantix? it's amazing stuff...

Yep, my son found out about it as soon as it was approved. I will likely try it out. But I wouldn't call something like 44% after 12wks amazing. Compared to other remedies...maybe so. But I'd like to know the numbers after say, 6 or 12 mths. My father quit cold turkey over 25yrs ago...no problem. My mother chewed Nicorette gum for nearly 10yrs. No, I'm not joking. Everyone is different.

Jeez, you could at least leave the light on so i can snoop around your garage while your not there. :)

I see a little light (nite lite ?) the camera is cool though :yes: (too much evidence to get me in trouble though ... lol)

Craig, did you finally get in? :hurray:

For you left out west coast guys, I did take last night off and watch a movie by the fire with Carol... Tonight I'll be practicing "parts cleaning 101" starting in about half an hour. Unfortunately, I left the dolley I was gonna put the tko on at work, so it will have to remain attached for now.

Nice Garage,Be careful with those Lava Lamps though ,I've heard of fires from them.My daughter had 1 in her room after reading that I went in that thing was hot as &*^%#..........Nice Car and Garage JIM !!!Thanks for sharing:thumbsup:

For you left out west coast guys....
West coast is close...Im sitting on the other side of the Pacfic Ocean!!
On the other side of the international date line..
Which means Im seeing what jim is already doing tomorrow!!!

Hey Steps, that's pretty funny. Say, do I get Saturday off like I asked or do I have to go to work?

Al brews beer........Al must work all days to brew beer!!

Jim it's dark in here I'm scared can you get me a night light please.:D
How's the floor holding up to the jack, cherry picker and engine stand?
It wouldn't let me in the last few days so I've had to settle for reading the daily's, but it sounds like things are coming along.:beers:
Now there real question is are you recording this for TC's next addition to the Punch mag a how to segment from Jim's Garage.

lmao.... I've yet to figure out how to record anything, hopefully someone else is?

I made up some foot square peices of 3/4" plywood to put under the stands, they were making indents in the floor.

Well make sure you PM him if he really screws something up so he can not do it the next day than... :)

Yes..im in. Of course if i would have read through your original post i would have been in much sooner. The first few times i tried i didnt load the Active X. The more i think about it though...watching you work is just going to depress me. :(

Reason #1--I have things I want to do to my cars this winter.
Reason #2--The fact that my shop is in way to much disarray right now to do anything in there.
Which then makes me think about how much work i have to actually do in my shop to get it back in working order and then i get really depressed. Thanks a lot Jim. :angry:

I think you should be required to to post a schedule of when you are going to be working in the garage so we can plan our day acordingly :)

Maybe if the ida catches on and we get a bunch of people on the live cam program we could have a new section in the forums. What would be a good title for it? How about "Restoration Live"

It's dark in there now. Maybe you should hook up a light that comes on when we log in. Just put a motion sensor light by the camera so when we move it the light turns on.

Glad you got in, Craig. Now get motivated and get yours done.

That month I spent sanitizing my garage was VERY motivational. It's such a nice place to work and play now.

I think you should be required to to post a schedule of when you are going to be working in the garage so we can plan our day acordingly :)

Friday is Carol's "I ain't cooking" night. Which means we either order pizza or go out. Which puts me in the garage around 8 central, maybe.

Tomorrow, I'll be out there early. Glad I read this, it's reminded me to go grab the dolly I'm gonna put the trans on!

Or you could be a be a real team player and pony up fo a second camea with a night vision lens. Then connect a light sensor in line that will ratate between cameras depending on how much light is in the room. Shouldn't set you back more than three or four grand.

Hey Jim, PM me with your phone #
thanks : Jay

:thumbsup: nice garage:beers:

Jim any chance we can get this on hd?

i think your garage needs the team camaro banner to hang in front of the ladders and stuff.

Jim, does your camera tell who is peeking? I notice when i log on, it tells me how many users there are peeking.
Be nice if you could sent messages across your screen there. guess thats what the chat room is for.?

ok Don, you can breath now. She's safely off the hoist and on the stand. Damn it's nice to have that stand out of there, have some room to work now!

Got a full day of cleaning left to do, the motor and underneath the car.
I am SO done with oil leaks! :(

and no, I get the sam thing you do, just how many. 4 right now

please stick a rag or something in the intake, i am always paranoid about something falling in there.
looks warm and toasty in there. i thought you would be wearing a parka or something!

please stick a rag or something in the intake, i am always paranoid about something falling in there.

LMAO... Intake and heads are coming off, as soon as I clean and stash enough parts to make room on the bench for them. If anything falls in, I'll fish it out later.

No parka, furnace hanging from the ceiling, up and to your left.

Figured I'd put this back in so no one has to go back to the beginning:

If you want to see my garage and my cars, and possibly even catch me working out there...
Jim's Garage cam (http://71.194.154.8:12000)

user = team
p/w = camaro

It will want you to OK the install of an avtiveX control or two, and then the video, camera controls, and possibly even audio will come up!

I was going to put my shop cam on here too. I didn't cause you would'nt see any camaros, they're in bed for the winter. Come summer, I'll post the link. All you could see right now is the 57 post. The caddy & boat, and the 77 T/A sitting in the snow.

I gotta bunch of stuff cleaned and put away this morning. My ratty old small block is looking pretty good now.
Cam was locked up fora while but is up again.
Had to help the wife with a lil project, but now it's back to cleaning parts!

Actually this thread has motivated me to get my shop done. I have begun picking away at it. Just been waiting for it to warm up a bit. In the big redesign i have to redo the heat as well. So right now there is no heat in there.
And it sounds like youre in your shop working and now i cant get the camera to load for some reason.

Yep, asks if I spelled it correctly.

ok... my network has been hinky all day, but I reset a bunch of stuff, and it all seems to be working now. Cam is back online.

I"ll get to see it someday. It always times out connecting to your IP.

I"ll get to see it someday. It always times out connecting to your IP.

Same here:sad:

I"ll get to see it someday. It always times out connecting to your IP.

Weird

I cant get it to come up today at all. Keeps telling me unable to open web page. I never get to get on here when your working anyway. I will try again tomorrow have fun sounds like a neat way to get motivated.

wierd.

can anyone ping 71.194.154.8 ?

It works here on a local ip...
I double checked the router, my wan ip address hasn't chenged.
port 28000 is still forwarded to the camera's local ip.
My internet access is ok.
I don't get it.

It must need some new heads or something .

A portion of the trace from me to you.

Jim's Garage cam (http://71.194.154.8:12000)

user = team
p/w = camaro

Oh sure I finally get to see something other than endless darkness and your on a SMOKE BREAK! :boring:
And to top it off I can't even see car parts little lone a car.:confused:
Come on what kinda garage porn is this.;)
I shouldn't really talk though. You've done more on your garage and car in the last month than I've done in the last 8.:sad: But the house is just about done except the garage and lower level.:(

PS- Thanks for the nite light.:hurray:

Jim...
I can't access it..timed out and then will not take user and password, Protected Object error.


Kev

same here

Make sure you use the new link from this page, or the previous page. The link on page1 won't work.

Firefox won't work. use explorer

Protected object error means it didn't like the user name or password, if team camaro (all lower case, it matters) doesn't work, try watch me .

Once you're in past the password, it'll want you to load an active x control (first time viewers only) sometimes this hides in a tan bar at the top of the explorer window, click on it, say ok.

Good morning everyone! we had a GOOD TIME IN CHAT LAST NIGHT.

Jim,
I have been in there before no problem...and use the new link :) I know the password also but it would not take it. Anyway..I got in a short time ago only to see you in your blue bathrobe (yuck) after expecting a view of engine work :) being done. Hey....where are the dancing girls :yes:

Kev

Wow..i finally had a Jim sighting on the cam a few minutes ago. First time ive actually seen any life in the shop in the few times ive popped in to see. It was a quick glimpse. What were you getting out of the cabinet/closet anyway? :D I feel like i spotted bigfoot in his natural habitat or something. :D

LMAO... you guys could at least wait til I get dressed!

:hurray:Hey Jim I can see again now go out and get to work! Last time I was able to view you had the motor on the floor. Now I see the intake is off you will have it back in in no time at this rate.:thumbsup:

Hey your working! Its the first time I actually saw you working. Now I have to go get to work too. Nice enough out today to take the lights off the house and then start file fitting some rings.

1030am Sunday, got right in, HEY JIMBO :D

Good connection. Need some pitbabes to clean, maybe. More audience then.
Maybe use them to show the items you have for sale...........

I'm watching you type on your laptop... in other words, I think I'm making a post about you making a post. Is this the Twilight Zone or what? :D

Puff..............

Having a blast here guys.

Hey you guys on the cam are my witnesses. Valvetrain came off and went immediately into labelled sealed ziplocs. So far on the odd side, all the lifters are perfect!

Looks like it was running rich ... :D

ya think?

Maybe a lil, I didn't raelly try to dial in that 800 afb...

Only thing I see wierd is that pison 7 is almost perfectly clean, especially around the edges. All the chambers look the same, all the plugs looked the same, but the top of that one piston is clean enough to eat off of.

I wanna get the cam out, but I'm running out of space to put stuff! Guess I'll hafta clean and put away some stuff.

OK, who keeps getting obsessed with the lava lamp?.. Someone getting mesmerized and having flashbacks??? ;)

Hummm - is there any spot on the head gasket that a little water was seeping in?
A clean cylinder is usually the sign that a little "Steam-Cleaning" was going on in it during operation ...
Wouldn't matter if it was the head, as you're replacing them (aren't you?) but I would also look the cylinder bore over for any damage if the head-gasket looks okay.

Let us know what ya find :thumbsup:

aha! finally got it to work
cleaning head bolts?

Jim..

Watching you have a cig and typing on the laptop while I am on the phone with Sears.com :(


Kev

hay Jim can you put #7 on the cam I'm thinking Steam-Cleaning
my self too
Larry

Well, I wanted to see where your at with the project, but when I try to move the cam to look, someone keeps moving it back to you typing and having a smoke. Don't really need to see that. :D

I moved the cam..to the cam.. :) Are ya happy :D


Kev

Here's #7

Most of em are pretty clean, but that one is a lotta clean. I'll post a pic tonight.

For now, my family is revolting (tho I should keep my personal problems to myself...lol.)
They tell me my cam is sucking up all our bandwidth!
And they want me to shut it down.

Show's over for today anyway, bye bye all, thanks for helping today!

Hey Jim just checked in and found you hard at work! My wife thinks we are weirdos for watching you. Tonight I was moving the camera around following you and she says "leave the poor guy alone!" LOL

Cool I see your boxing up the heads. Did you sell em? My wife says its pretty bad that if I am not working on mine I am watching you work on yours!

So is it still working? I can not logon to it.

Yes, still working. Link changed a little tho.

If you'd been able to log on, you'da seen me cleaning and boxing the Dart heads.

Sure the web page finally loads up instead of an error message and there's no one home.:boring:

First time it ever connected successfully for me too.

Darn, I keep missing the show!

maybe tomorrow

Darn, I keep missing the show!


Jim,

Judging by the number of posts, you must have hot bikini babes working on your Camaro...LOL! ;)

It does not work for me. I have tried several times over several days, no good!!!!

I turned it off last night around 9 central, it's not on now.
Maybe later... Gotta do the dishes, then sew some patches on Brians cub scout vest...

=... Gotta do the dishes, then sew some patches on Brians cub scout vest...

Is this the sacrifices so you can go out to the garage?

Is this the sacrifices so you can go out to the garage?

Exactly! and the sacrifices are done, I'm out there now, and the camera is back on.
Those of you who'd rather watch me than work on your own cars, tune in.
The rest of you, go find a wrench!

That's a good kid you have Jim, out there with you in the garage!

Yikes...

A lit cig in one hand and spraying brake clean on a rag.... POOF

Be careful there Jim... :)


Kev

ha, ha this is great

Geez Jim, looks like you're doing a bang up job there on that cylinder head.

Maybe I should send my cylinder head to you to do some tinkering with :D

Paul :beers:

Doesn't work with Mozilla Firefox browser.Make sure your using Internet Explorer.

ok, well that was big fun. After over half an hour to get the keepers off of one lousy vale, I sure could use one of them air powered valve spring compressors the pro's use.

After careful examination, I've come to the conclusion the the professionals who built these heads are a heck of a lot better at it than lil ole me, and how dare I question thier quality control!

That valve and seat is flat gorgeous, and perfect. I think someone may have warned me about this, but the seals have to come off to mess with the shims, and I'm sure the installed hts and pressures are perfect anyway.

With a lil help from above, I hope to get that valve spring back on.
I will then declare those new heads to be perfect in every way, set them aside, and bolt them on the engine as soon as I get some gaskets.

Was an interesting excercise. I will manage to check cam to rod, and piston to valve clearance, and degree the new cam.

Jim I love to watch the smile on your face while your having fun in the shop. Nice chunk of aluminum sitting on your bench!
