No joy yet - but tomorrow's another day.

This is, as a home owner, a time of the year I don't lack for things to do - like raking @#$%^& acorns, then in two-three weeks, the @#$% leaves.

Everything is clean and freshly painted and the gaskets are Gaskacinched to the timing cover, just waiting. And that stuff is a waste of $$ as it's only repackaged flammable contact cement.

Still no joy brought by the mail person - so off to find a piece of 5/16" drill rod (now I'm starting to understand why the USPS has lost several billion dollars so far this year)

Pat - not a problem. I'll just put it away for the next motor. Since it was raining today, I did a bunch of other things. And yeah, after I posted the last, I did cut down a new 5/15 drill that I had - wasn't thinking - drill rod = drill bits. Interesting - that 'E' camshaft needed a 1.5" pin to instead of the 1.375 to bottom and not miss the eccentric.

Good news and info for us SBF guy's .

Pat Mc - the dowel drive pin just arrived about 10 minutes ago.
Six freaking days since you mailed it!!!
I had no idea that Michigan was somewhere outside of the solar system - and I'm originally from Michigan.

Thanks for sending it off to me - I'm sure it will get used eventually
