Don - you're an incredible father! These are the kind of "surprises" that make life special! Be sure and capture the look on his face when he "discovers" what you've been doing.

Well, thanks, but he has been so bummed about the engine not being right I just had to try to get it back running again for him. I really feel for him, the car is so right in every other aspect and runs right down the road, but this engine thing has been frustrating. Don and I talked today and we can't figure it out, we have put so many motors together over the years and never had one blow oil like this one.

Trjohn57, don't you hate it when shops do that to you? There have been times we gave something to a shop and were promised it would be done in two weeks, when you go back in 3 weeks it hasn't even been touched. The guy who is doing Dan's machining was very up front with me. I told him we weren't in any rush, and he said "Don't tell me that because as busy as we are it will get put aside indefinitely." I revised that and asked if a few weeks was reasonable, and he said yes. So far it looks like they are going to get close to that estimate.
