Eminem has often reflected on how disappointment from people close to him shaped his outlook, especially during the peak of his early success. As his career grew after The Slim Shady LP in 1999, he faced fallouts with friends and people he trusted, which inspired deeply personal tracks on albums like The Marshall Mathers LP, where themes of loyalty and betrayal became central to his storytelling.

A major turning point came in 2007 when Eminem went through a life-threatening health crisis that forced him to step away and reevaluate everything around him. After recovering, he returned stronger and more focused, later channeling that experience into Recovery, showing how difficult moments can reveal who truly supports you and help rebuild a clearer, stronger path forward.

Next year is overhaul time for the beast.

I figure 60 years is long enough without rebopping the transaxle.
The final drive cover is rusting away so I will need to find a new one - it is the planetary type not the conventional type diff.

The Cadillac 429 had several one-model-year-only improvements for 1967 despite being slated for replacement by the 472 cubic inch monstrosity being tooled up for its 1968 debut. For 67 only, new stamped steel rocker arms were employed to replace the cast iron rockers seen on every OHV engine made previously, and they were mounted to pedestals which were net-built onto the head using one head bolt per pair of rockers. A powdered metal pedestal held each pair of rockers instead of a shaft holding eight at a time. Also eliminated was the oiling regimen to the head, which originally consisted of an oil pressure passage machined into block, head and gasket to put pressurized oil into an upper galley to service the rocker shafts. For one year only, the galleys were completely blocked off by the pedestals, and all valvetrain oiling came from the lifters inside these hollow pushrods.

Following the lead of most GM-designed OHV engines of the 60s, the 429 now had a modern oiling circuit, albeit for only that year. The stamped rockers continued to be used for the larger engines, but the 8 cylinder head mounting bolts for the rockers, each one half inch shorter than corresponding bolts found in older V8s, are the most difficult to find because of their small hex head and 13/32 x 16 thread size.
