Thanks Don, My problem is that this is my line of work. I don't want to let the kid start anything he can't follow through with, without me winding up doing it myself. I have plenty of work already , and a job like that is only going to turn frustrating for the both of us. I can't donate a tremendous amount of time to it, and if we have to put a dry sump or modify oiling systems or crossmembers he can't afford to do it. Hopefully this thread will stand as a warning to others who would want to try it themselves. Is there smiley that has a head on a stick?


Thanks, Mikey
