Interesting turn on this thread – happens all the time. Sounds like JbRat has the compression problem solved and hope he is gleaning what he needs to address his rocker issues. It’s all in the thread and I sometimes read through these a couple times before I get everything in the correct order as we have a tendency to all be thinking about solutions and may approach things a bit differently but usually end up with the same conclusion.
I’ve met very few people on this site face-to-face but I feel like a lot here are my friends. I could sit and have coffee with most here and believe that what we sometimes lack in “personality points” we more than make up in good ol’ fashion honesty and knowledge of all things pertaining to hot rods. An online forum by nature is a simplex conversation and it’s real easy to read something into a computer conversation that if it were happening live and in person (over burger and beers or pie and coffee) wouldn’t be there. For instance, Tech would see me laughing my head off at his one-liners (“Pinched his head off at birth…”) – I’m still chuckling and will for sure use that one.
Anyone who lives to be sixty plus typically has pretty tough skin and for the most part, I just let things people say roll off my back if I find I don’t like or agree with it. I just try to remember that, “…the only thing that’s the end-of-the-world is the end-of-the-world” and I can work most other things out.
Now if you steal my stuff or mess with the family – that’s a whole different ballgame.
Regards All,
Glenn
