They are as far as I know. We got them from my FIL's wife's work. They use it all the time there I guess.

That sounds like it should work then.

It really can help to know what your working with though.

Ah, just do it. Who cares! LOL

Long day today. But that's okay. Had to work on Saab's today. Mine and Tom's. Mine completely managed to sheer the teeth off of one of the sprockets for the balance chain. So, it's no longer balanced anymore! LOL They don't need the balance shaft running at all.

Now just gotta put it back together. Tom's just needs a new hydraulic line for the top...

I agree with both of these statements.
I blame Tom and Dave for that one...

I will pound on your big ol 6.2 this summer with a itty bitty 6.0.

Hey Jay, yup that it was. Actually not to bad to work on though.

Tomorrow we will start prepping for the wall removal! While it's 90 out. Yay!

Sounds like you have a place to use those window AC units you were going to sell. LOL

Hey Chris. That is a long time to go that distance. I don't miss the drive downtown though I do miss some of the viewing...

So I think I mentioned that the gasket set I got for the top end was wrong. I cannot locate a head gasket anywhere but from England. That will cost roughly $38 plus shipping.

I went onto ebay and I can buy a complete gasket kit (for the whole engine) delivered for about $44. I think this is a no brainer...

Evening everyone. Just got done reinstalling the second door. I have one more in the garage drying. That one has two coats of poly. I think it's going to need a third coat. It will after I get done picking the stupid bugs off of it.

The other two look great. They actually match the casing. I was trying to match the moulding. The moulding is off color because it was CHEAP. 99 cents per 8 ft after rebate. Now I have a problem. The moulding is too light and the doors match the casing perfectly. I might have to break down and buy the right moulding.

Time for bed soon. Night all!
