You gotta pay to play. It was no surprise. I knew it was coming.
Elvira had started smoking on decel a couple of years ago. The oil puddle was growing into a small pond, and now coming from both sides. I thought the car was running great, but a leak down test showed that I was not getting all the 3.0 was capable of. It was time for a rebuild.

I like to see a mechanic with clean work bench (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) So when will Elvira hit the road again? Does this mean she will be at RT66 2019? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

QUOTE(76-914 @ Jun 28 2018, 05:41 AM)  So when will Elvira hit the road again? : I'm not sure when Elvira will be back home again. They didn't say. I didn't ask. I am not really in a big hurry. It will be to hot here to enjoy anything except a sunrise drive for the next 2 months. I know it will be difficult to restrain myself during the break in period. I am certainly not looking foreward to settling the bill. |
