AC had a clog somewhere so would not cool even tho its full. Replaced Evap, expansion valve, pressure switch, receiver drier. made sure the hoses and condenser were clear. reinstalled with 40ml oil in evap and 20ml oil in drier. 1.5 cans freon and its cold now. i just dont understand why the middle vent air is weak.

Finished head valve job. started without issues. also changed oil and coolant. Start aug 8, finished dec 5. 2020 lots of delays. - original plan was to use harvested shims. but they are all 24shims were too thick. decide to grind. but that didnt work out. decide to buy, seller post got delayed. other delays includes Socal fires, smoke, ash, rain, work, real cold days. washing machine. fridge. kids need stuff. overall i put in around 60 hours i think. but i took my time and did it right. should last another 100k before it needs another valve job. next round machinist needs to replace valve seats. top half of engine is relatively clean. bottom half is caked in oily mud. needs to be car washed.

ODO 259096 EPR 109 + Supreme 5w-30 Oil changed with C111 oil filter cleaned the undersides a little too. still a lot of grime but better. Engine sluggish on idle during warm up but better when warm. misses a little once in a while. im concerned the headgasket maybe be suspect again. but its been 10 yrs. changed the sparkplugs 3 months ago and they look tired. but the plugs i used are old also. also found a loose intake hose clamp and tightened them all up.
