That's awesome. Now I know who to call when I need to rebuild my engine - only a matter of time.

Damn right Grouch, Ray is definitely who you wanna call for a rebuild!
Nicely done guys.

Further, we had a single overhead flourescent fixture and halogen desk lamp as our only sources of light at night. I even re-installed the UIM pretty much in the dark. It's not that I am a particularly intellectual guy about this stuff, it's simply that I refuse to give up due to lack of a few "conveniences".

WHAT?? :Eyecrazy:
luck of conveniences? I was under the impression that it was simply your preferred way of doing things. :scratchhe
Why didn't you just ask for more light? :uhh:

:lol2::lol:

I thought the high tech portion was me trying to mop the coolant mixed with oil from under the car, before we install the motor back in. That, and the impressive work i pulled there with the pressure washer... :lol: :lol2:

Jedi54 04-01-2008 02:12 PM

Ray: is that your place?

Grouch 04-01-2008 02:33 PM

That is un-freakin' real. I 'almost' wish i needed a rebuild!

Jedi54 04-01-2008 02:44 PM

^^^ some day your engine is going to decide to follow the light and go to Rotary Heaven. It's not a matter of 'if', just 'when' your engine decides it's time.

When that happens, you'll know who to call! :)

rotorocks 04-01-2008 03:10 PM

Just send out the beacon!
Works everytime!
I thought everybody had one? :scratchhe
Just point it up in the general direction of Michigan for now and he'll follow it like a homing pidgeon! (I kid Ray :Peace: )
We'll require some alignment to the SouthWest in the future. :eyetwitch

We had a dead renny at the dealership and I really wanted to split it open but mazda wanted it untouched! How lame!

rotorocks 05-07-2008 12:32 AM
