tech support anyone?

ok i got to thinking there are quite a few guys on here that are well versed in the idi engines,i dont want to name names.i was curious in how many would be interested in doing a tech support kind of deal.like when someone is in a jam i can give out a number or what not.what do you all think?if your interested pm me a phone number where you can be reached and we can set up a network type of deal. is this a decent idea?i would ask that the exchanging of numbers go through the mods unless each person is comfortable.

again this is just a thought to see what kind of response i get

Anyone in canada can call me no prob, from the states it might cost a bit depending on your phone plan. If you want my number pm me. My garage is always open for an idi or two haha. Seriously, if you need a hand, come up and ill lend a hand. If you are stuck or dont want to proceed due to lack of exp, i can help there too. Engine removal, head removal and trans rebuild are the only things i havent done. With this site and my laptop in the garage, it gets a lot easier haha.
