Simple projects ALWAYS turn to Major Projects!
This is the story of my life...
This weekend all I wanted to do was ..
1. Change out some clutch fluid (Turkey Baster Method)
2. Clean my Vararam Filter.
Tops a 30minute job! right? Wrong.. by buddy "Murphy" ensures that it's more complicated..
The Master Cylinder on the clutch now squaks like a parrot now... so I need to Bleed the entire clutch out.. so while I am doing this I may as well add the LAPD Remote Bleeder..
$89 and most likely a day of work...
Then my filter for my Vararam is falling apart. and the base is cracked.. Good news is Vararam is replacing the Plenum.. But still..
$49 plus another 1/2 day replacing the plenum.

So, your point is???? 
If you haven't done it before, wait until you try to get the disconnects between the master and slave cylinder disconnected and reconnected (hint, I replaced both and ended up with a hacksaw!)
Have a good one,

Mr. Murphy
I just finished a head/cam swap yesterday. It seems that I have an oil leak at the balancer and very low oil pressure.
At least it sounded great when I started it!

More than likely it's the crank seal....
