LIKE A ************. With mad respect to your father/grandfather, that still gives you no right to talk. You've not been faced with orders that aren't quite legal/ethical, you haven't had multiple lives on your shoulders depending on you, nor have you worn the Flag reminding you how many brothers and sisters you have fighting for thier life over there. So with all due respect, please do not continue voicing your ignorant *** opinions. They HIGHLY offend me....and yes, IT DOES matter that I still have my entire old unit fighting across Iraq right now. Something you may not understand, but should respect nonethless.
BTW, before my medical discharge I was going to attend Special Forces Selection, then a six month tour in Iraq, then attend West Point. If in any way you can possibly label that as the easy path to ANYTHING, let me know.

I realized how I may have given the wrong impression on my respect, thats why if you read my last thread you will see the words i appologize. So now its to the point of take it or leave it, but get over it. Hey im an american I voted, and because of people like you I have the right to my opinion on anything I chose. You dont have a choise on what I say nor anything you can do about it. Im sorry if I came off ignorant, I actually consider my self a very logical person that may have gave the wrong idea. If I was drafted You can bet your *** I would go defend this country. But I would never put myself in the army. For I dont think theres anything to come out of it good for me. my parents tought me how to listen,follow directions and make desisions. I dont need someone who got a position of athority because of a time served, senority type deal. I may be write may not be, let me know. But on another note what put you in the service Im honestly curious. Did you get drafted enlist on your own. Now that your out did you come away with a life skill/career. I didnt get what you ment by it does matter that your buddies are still there. Im thinking your refering to when I said i could care less. I meant about the oil pump spacer situation with the cars. I was just kind of seeing jermzz point of view. Not caring about soldiers/your buddies would never leave my mouth. Just wanted to clear that up.

xcobra, its cool. everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and thats one reason I enlisted. fyi, you CANNOT be drafted into the military as of right now. sent you a PM. we're cool, I wasn't so much upset at you but the fact that you had the wrong info. I also appreciate the thoughts for the soldiers over there, they need 'em.

Hit me up on AIM/Yahoo if you ever want to learn some of the truths about the Army, I'd be glad to share my experiences and hopefully straighten out the record. I promise to be calmer

Put the template on 1/8 inch sheetmetal, draw the contour and holes. use the dimentions given to you as reference. smooth out the edges and voila.
In my basic little mind, I cannot fathom how one would do a cam swap and not be able to use their immaginations to fabricate a simple shim (with pics and dimentions given nonetheless).
So if I offended you little wet nosers, well tough. You should concentrate on learning not the offense. Obviously none of you have been in the Army.

I just don't think I asked a stupid or even a wrong question. I can take the drawing and pump to a machine shop and have it done. I could also buy a new timing chain that comes with the spacers. I wouldn't have to fabricate anything. I don't think there's too many things in the fbody "hor rod" world that need to be fabricated at all, especially when you're buying everything online anyway. I have a buddy who has all the tools needed to make the brackets, but not ever working with metal before, I don't know how good I would do. So I think it IS ok to ask that question, without having to worry about ridicule or "wallbanging". I'm not gonna bother to try and do it myself if it has to be that close, i'd just rather pay to have it done.
I really don't understand how you could think that just because someone could do a cam swap, they would be able to fabricate spacers. Obviously I don't know if I could or not, i've never even tried. I can sure as hell can do a cam swap....did my heads aswell... maybe i'm the only one?

Since I offered them to you first, I'll send them out to
you tomorrow. Do you need the longer bolts also? Send
me an e-mail if you want the bolts also.

As for your other comment about what an army is, I will ignore it since you have obviously NO idea and certainly have not deserved the right to make a comment like that.
Just remember that in order to have peace, you have to be ready to go to war, and that requires an army.
