Quoting: Roadkill
Hello, matey - hope all's well with you.
Everythings great Dean.
Been busy as feck the last couple a weeks but it's slowing down now.
I had to fit a new (used with 22,000 miles) lump in my brother-in-laws 2000 toyota pickup. Had burnt valves in #3 and at least 2 rods knocking. Hopefully he's learned his lesson and will take care of this motor.
I picked up (towed in) a 1984 Olds Firenza Estate as abandoned at work and after the 30 day waiting period asked the boss for the car to fix up for my daughter. It only has 42,000 on the clock and is clean as a whistle. Had to fit a new water pump and head gasket as apparently the pump went out and they ran it hot and blew the head gasket.
Bought me a new (used with 17,000 on the clock) 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab. I figured it was time for ME to get something out of my hard work. LOL
BTW, Chris' part is headed your way. I didn't have his post addy so I sent it to you. I figured you wouldn't mind passing it on to him for me.
