I'm going to try and do as much as possible. I'll have to see what I can do myself and what I know I cant do.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

YGspider is a DIYer nothing wrong with that. He also specifically said

I see a lot of help being offered and thats cool, but if the guy wants to go for it good for him. And thats not an insult on any one and shouldn't be taken as such.
 YGspider read and then read some more, there are lots of "how to" threads on just about everything about these cars do some research ask as you go along double check everything and good luck.

Most talk about having thick skin but thats just BS.
This damn attitude of "you didn't listen to us/me now you should burn in hell for it" really sucks.

Dan, for the last time: shut the fuck up

Justin deserves a chance to make this work, and we will continue to support him (even if it makes our heads explode in the process).  When I was his age I took on a much bigger challenge and succeeded building my Buick.  I made my errors along the way, took support where I could get it, and even contributed to Steve's (and others') premature aging when I thought I knew better.

Justin, carry on.

No kidding, I would be 52 in November instead of 72 if not for you! :013:

We all started somewhere and we all screwed up tho none of my mistakes are documented.  Eventually most of us begin to learn our limitations and seek help when in doubt altho I do tend to grab a bigger hammer in my old age.

Please don't take my post as a insult to anyone. I know sometimes the way I word things it might sound like I'm saying fuck you or something like that but its not what I mean. I love to get input from everyone that has worked on these cars. I read at least a hour or two of Turbo Buick Tech each day. Dan, Bill ,Steve, Motorhead knowledge is very helpful to other Turbo Buick owners. I know I could just bring it to someone and get the job done but I want the chance to wrench with my dad and have fun in the garage with my car. This week or weekend I'm going to do the injector swap. While on the note of my injector swap is there a bolt or a valve to release the pressure in the rails?   
I know some of you don't get along but I think we should all just drop what happened and start being a happy Turbo Buick family again. I know I may have upset a few people and I really didn't mean too. The last thing I want is to bring trouble to myself. I just want a fun car to enjoy and people to enjoy the cars with. That's what this weekend at Autofest was all about, Yes we all had our Buicks but it felt like a big family reunion. Also a lot of the old guys that know all the Buick tech are getting old and its up to guys that really want to learn like Motorhead did to take over when you guys don't want to work on these cars anymore or cant. I mean that with respect I feel I should learn and be able to keep these cars running as well as you guys have learnt to do. I don't want to be the guy that has to bring my car to a specialist.... . I want to be a specialist amongst you. And I still have along way to go!

Any skilled can be learned with time, desire and money.  Take your time and read lots.  Most anything you wanta know is documented.

Trying to reinvent the wheel as it were is unnecessary. Do some more reading and some doing and get her running wellw. I did rear main seal in the car. Not sure why you would want to pull an engine for anything less than an overhaul but it is your time. I was driving mine at the time and it had to carry me to work back then.

Keep the questions coming plenty of experience on this board to answer them.

He said he wanted to paint the engine compartment... much easier with the engine out.  Has been for me anyway.    I am open for new tricks, tho  :)
