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'll do it again when you have time. I was thinking I'd run E85 the second time, just to satisfy my curiosity.
Yesssss!
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!

TGIF! Finally!
Good Morning Jim,Dennis, Cory, Jim, Dave, Troy and everyone else!
My problem with the trim is that it is obvious and I am **** about it. It gets me into alot of trouble trying to make things the way I think they should look or make them match.

I'm still gonna run tomorrow. I don't think I'll let you know the results or you'll be back in the tuner looking for more.

Yesssss!
So how long will your parts take to ship from England?
That is satisfying work when you can hang the doors back up. Unless you're real ****, or the color is black and white, I wouldn't worry about it. I finished the laundry room a few years ago using left over trim from a bunch of different projects, all different shades of stain, and no one has noticed yet. I still see it though. I just don't care.

Well, you would be right. But even I know to order the complete kit...
Good morning to the rest of you.
