I my self can't help but really admire some one that dives head first into his first engine change. Also you must take into consideration that adam is working with minimal resources ,,,material not mental. I can remember all the things I bent,broke,ruined,etc,etc when I was young. As for myself I enjoy helping someone that is putting an honest effort forth and trying.
Adam is very organized,and listens when someone offers suggestions,,,, and best of all he doesn't
take advantage and says thank you. This is a hobby enjoy it,,,reach out and help someone!!!!

Happy vetting

Well said Geo...!!! Like Adam, I'm fortunate to have a couple of friends and relatives who have A LOT more experience turning a wrench than I do and are VERY patient mentors to me. I know I wouldn't have been able to tackle a couple of the projects on "The Toy" without their aid and assistence. Hopefully I'll be able to pass the knowledge on at some point in the future. My hat is off to you Sir...!!! |thumb|

If you weren't caught breaking it, you didn't.
