I think my build has a some sort of horrible curse on it. I just got my lifters today from JBP. They look good... ALL 13 OF THEM!!! 
It looks like someone opened the box and either dropped, or stole 3 of the lifters. They came in tubes of 4 lifters. 3 of the tubes were fine and had 4 lifters, but the last tube was open, and the lifter was sitting at the bottom of the box.

I guess the package would be under a lot of surveillance, since lifters seen through an x-ray machine would sure look a lot like bullets. Still, they could at least put the damn thing back in the box! WTF man! I wonder how much stuff customs has lost/stole over the years!
P.S. German Chocolate is one of my favorite flavors! I might just wait to finish it, just to get the free cake!

2 individual candles should work. Also if you want it to be on the 2 year anniversary of my car being broken, March 16th is the date which I blew the motor.

You blew the motor when you were in High School, by the time it's said and done with you're gonna be old enough to drink at the bar.

Yay for ecotecs that go cablooey!!
Cam already knows, but my 2.2L with nothing but intake and full exhaust seized up last weekend.
Faulty oil filter cap hosed down my engine bay, no CELs. 1.5 quarts of Mobil 1 full syn goes bye bye. I replaced it the same day and topped off the oil, then a week later (after no signs of problems, and no CELs) engine seizes up at the grocery store.
I'm guessing bearings seized up. I'll find out for sure today. Yay 8K miles of warranty left.
As soon as I get the car back, I'm driving to the Harley dealer and getting myself an HD Iron 883.
I'll race you then Cam.

I am getting my AE86 drivable (misc repairs), then I'll tackle the Cobalt. I'll also be doing a motor swap in the Corolla, should only be down for a few days, I'm getting EVERYTHING I need before I do it. Dropping in a KA24DE out of a 240SX. My license plate will either be NISYOTA, TOYSSAN, or KAROLLA
