Mike...relax...this ain't Pirate4x4. No weld jokes here...because you and Kendo are probably the only 2 that can do it decently.

We envy your welding - as in:

Ferris: We can't pick up Sloane in your car. Mr Rooney would never believe Mr Peterson drives that piece of shit.

Cameron: It's not a piece of shit.

Ferris: It is. Don't worry, I don't even have a piece of shit, I have to envy yours.

I'm no welding inspector, but those sure look nice.

As for your engine parts - that's why I don't take complex things apart, I can't remember how to put them back together! :-)

PUT PULLER BACK ON START GOING AND BAM!!! IT POPS OFF WITH A BANG! =D> now we hope the saft is long enough with the repair we had to do [-o< now we try to seperate the case with out the special crankcase puller thats made to do this job :roll: its not going to work so now im at home waiting to order the puller for it next week! no money this week so its going to wait! :oops: for future projects i recomend if there is special tools that need to be used get them dont think or say that you can find somthing that will work #-o

Wow, we're a long ways from "well going to try and fix my 5th gear"!

I'm always impressed by you mechanical guys, I could never do that. I've only ever had one of any motor I owned apart and that was a '63 Chevy small block - so simple!

Keep the pictures coming - fun to watch progress!
