"I am not fast!"
First Day Home
This is Baymax! (Yes, after the character in the Disney Movie "Big Hero 6"). I decided to name him Baymax, because:
1. I really love the character in the movie.
2. I don't drive fast.
3. I don't think the stock KJ's look very aggressive when they are stock, just like the character. But when you upgrade and modify them, they become awesome looking, butt-kicking machines!
I bought Baymax on (19MAR2015) for cheap. The previous owner told me there was a Cylinder 2 misfire. Looking over him, he looked to be in pretty darn good condition. There rear bumper was a tad messed up and the driver's side taillight was tapped in from a fender bender, but there was no frame damage and no body damage.
The next day (20MAR2015) we took the valve cover off to check out what was going on with the misfire. We found that the valve spring has a clean break in it. Ordered the parts for the fix, plus some TLC maintenance, and waited.
(24MAR2015) We got our tools and parts together to do some maintenance and replace the spring. Did pretty well getting the spring switched out up until the spring retainer keeper fell and got lost. Now we are at a stand still. We've got to get a longer magnet to make sure the keeper didn't fall somewhere detrimental and now we are waiting on a new keeper that I ordered this morning.
(30MAR2015) We replaced the broken valve spring, replaced the valve cover gasket, drained the old coolant and took off the old water pump.
(31MAR2015) After school my dad and I got right to work on Baymax. We finished replacing the water pump, changed the oil and put on the new serpentine belt. Today I got to drive Baymax for the first time without having to worry about anything bad happening!
