    What kind of setup does he have on that truck. Yeah, I had neighbor who had a s10 V6 with a nice turbo.set up awhile back. It's a carb/injection setup.

    couldn’t bend my knee enough to get it in the Camaro. Now if I use my cane I can get in. Not supposed to put full pressure on my knee. On his truck it all motor, forget the size , like 560cc or something like that.

    • Been starting up the Camaro and getting in and out okay. Doing a oil change and checking the tires so hopefully take it out pretty soon. Weather is perfect 50-60 degrees.

          When I get it tuned at WOT I will. Changed the oil today and when I pulled the oil filter off got a good look at the oil pressure port. Looks like it has been leaking at boost. I’m going to replace the whole setup hopefully it fixes the leak. This is a pic of the new setup for the port. Going to replace the oil pressure sender harness also, should give me extra length in the wire so that will be good. Click image for larger version

              No, been taking it easy, saw the Surgeon on Monday and he said I should take it easy on my knee. Until I see him next month. So been resting and taking anti inflammatory meds. Over did it doing the 3 oil changes and airing up the tires last week. He said it takes 3-4 months for it to heal up completely. Said wait 6 months before squatting down like I was doing. Really don’t want another surgery on it so I’ll listen.

              • Sorry to hear that Steve. Workout your upper body in the gym to help speed up your recovery. Then drop your weight down so you don't stress your knees as much.
