Take care of it like what the old owner did, and it will last longer. Anyway, just keep doing what your doing and you'll be fine.

 

I think they lied about the 238 hp, lol

 

Yes, just sit back, open a beer and read, read, read. If you can't find an answer to a particular question after 5 minutes or so, ask it here and I, or someone else, will try to answer it for you. (I don't believe people should have to read gobs and gobs of material to get a simple answer to a single question. Who has the time?) Congratulations!

 

Thanks this forum is awesome!
