Mark,
I'm not arguing. I'm raising issues for consideration so that those of you
who are proposing solutions (I assume that you are constructively looking
for solutions to the problem) consider and address all the potential
issues. You may note that I also mentioned that Factory manuals may not
even have the most important information.

1981 when I bought my Lotus Europa (my last used Stock class car). Of
course the real reason I took the engine apart is because it was so worn
out that it needed a complete rebuild when I bought it and that was the
"plan". :-)
About the same story in 1991 with my used CMod FF :-)
