Well my pockets are quite lighter today. Had to renew the tag’s on the NX, that was 80 dollars over the 10 for emissions testing which blows. Then 200 dollars for the tune up parts and emissions equipment I needed to fix the Altima. And my back is now very tired, thinking of an early retirement to the bed.
I dont dare say its running well, mostly cause there are still things I have to do. I need to replace the valve cover gasket now. When pulling the plug wire off number 2, i got a big sucking sound…to be greeted with quite a lot of oil. The inner gasket had failed at some point. So she was full of oil. Had to remove the valve cover to get the rest of the oil out, and parts of the plug wires. But an hour later I had completed everything and the car fired up. She runs way smoother than before, well when it really messed up. She runs as smooth as she once did. I still have to crawl under it sometime this weekend to replace the emissions piece. That should be an easy fix, maybe an hour. But…its running again. Drove it home, leaving the NX in the parking garage. Brett and I will do musical cars tomorrow sometime. Now…I think Im going to lay down.
