Bummer - I don't have a low mileage engine in my wagon

Well the good news is any of those "while I'm at it" things that need powder coated will not cost you anything. Just need to get them over here.
My way of returning all the help you've given me with the delivery over the last five years.

Maybe I can make a trip over to help you instead!!! I could bring the parts back? We'll see how your progress goes. Keep us posted cause I think my thread us almost done.

Steve, if your thread is "almost" done, you'll have to start another. As I've found out, the projects don't ever go away just because it's on the road!

True. There are still a lot of "little" thing to do. As I am sure Roger has a lot of little things to do.

Like how I tied that back into the original post. Sorry Roger for the partial hijack.

Actually that is great news... I wasn’t sure these things would go 145,000 without the terrible blow-by, leaks, knocks and general crankyness.

I would celebrate and say "Nice Work Mr. McNamara!".

The Ford engineers would have gotten a kick out of Roger having to rebuild his engine ..... in 2014!

Oh yeah - they'd have loved that, but I suspect they're probably not around any more.

Yep, Steve, Making a pile. Maybe I can do this on a Friday and just come to the shop and do it all and bring it back the same day?

Jeff - take care of it and it'll last a long, long time. Newer oils too... help.

As long as the pile gets here early we can always stay late. Depends on the size of said pile.
We need to check our red so I can make sure I have it in stock. Is it the same as your parking meter?
