I get to replace the front cover gasket on a 6.7 Cummins today. It's not a fun job. I've been working too hard this week.

What makes this job particularly unenjoyable? Sounds like it will have decent money in it due to the labor time to disassemble the front of the engine to replace the gasket (this thought is in reference to the one in regards to my freeze plug repair having to remove the transmission/clutch).

pays like 14 hours. dont want to know what it pays if it were warranty.
part i hate is using the tool to lift up the lifters and pray they dont fall off and into the oil pan. also leaning over the front of the truck isnt fun. but i might dissasemble the front this time. theres also the potential leak form the oil pan after.

Well, I dropped a lifter into the oil pan. I'm going to quit my job and just sell lawn mowers full time.

I spent most of the day working on that truck. I got the camshaft out. It was really difficult, it kept getting stuck. Then I removed the oil pan and got the lifter out. Then used the special tool to put the lifter back in. Then it got stuck some how. Then I drop a couple more lifters but the tool stops them from falling but I can't get them back up. One I had to tap down so the bore has an issue so pulling it up is impossible. Super stressful day.
Anyways. This is the civic that was traded in at work.

Site will likely be down for some maintenance around 6am est on Friday. I know it’s not ideal, but it hopefully won’t be down for very long.

Sucks about the truck; sounds like you're spending more time on it than the job is paying.
Can't see that Civic without joining the group; does it have a Marketplace ad you can share? Or, maybe a listing from the dealership's site?

That link worked. " ***Vehicle sold as is, for parts only*** " Man, they're doing that one dirty; looks to be in overall great condition, good little commuter for folks provided it isn't rusted underneath. Does the dealership have to put that caveat on there due to the age of the car (no warranty or anything offered)?

Yea I’d say Honda and some others also make things pretty repair friendly. I can’t imagine doing that each time the Lincoln needed a filter swap.

I curbed one of my wheels on Thursday, so I'm currently very salty. Has anyone here had wheel repair? Does it take a while?

Machined lip wheels from your profile picture? Back from my 8thcivic days it took a couple days for a good shop to turn them around.

Correct. I haven't actually looked at it. It looks way better in pictures. Has a small amount of rust on the passenger quarter. If it was manual I'd probably buy it.
