Yeah, c'mon guys, hurry up w/the rotary ****!

I want to finally see (3 years after having it ported) whether it will make more power past 7500 rpms instead of it dropping off due to asthma.

dont forget the motor mounts have dedicated sides--I know how "papers" can get lost during all the stuff going on during an install !
Nice thread!

Hey now - my **** retentiveness knows no bounds!!!

I actually have 3 tackle-boxes full of all the parts, labeled and organized - takes you twice as long to take everything out - but wicked fast to put it all back in.

I have to resort to that now too...getting old is a bitch

I used to be able to throw them all in a bucket...and remember the whick parts/bolts went where by the little scratches on the heads...

Brain can't keep up any more if I take off more than 5-6 parts

Good luck on the install....

And don't let Ray "work" too hard in the hot sun.....

Seriously - you should have flown a couple more people out to serve as the supervision and documentation crew. Supervise the cooler and document just how delicious each beer is.

My sentiments exactly - Ray knows that I do a great supervisor role and can pass out the drinks as needed.

OD, I was just messing with you man - I wasn't offended in the least..... Marines seem to get a lot nicer after they retire I guess; caring about others n stuff.... HAHA
