Greg and other listers,
I left on a backpacking trip shortly after this thread started so to keep
from getting my email overloaded, I temporarily unsubscribed from the list.
Were there any other definitive replies besides Bob's that I partially
quoted below that you can forward to me? I don't care if you flood my email
now, I was just trying to reduce the volume of my email so my wife could
maintain my business email while I was gone (a great vacation too - its
only a "real vacation" if you are truly away).
I hope to do my engine rebuild sometime next month and will use Bob's
suggestions for sure. I've already done two rebuilds but the last one was
in 1983, coincidentally on this same engine. I think I can wing it fine.
Its just when I go to the machine shop, I want to be able to go in with
some semblance of knowing what I am doing and requesting the right work be
done. So any tips from the machine shop angle besides Bob's (which I
already have) would be appreciated.
