John:
Do you think I need to pull the transmission at this point? If, Yes do I
need to pull the engine? I was kind of hoping to learn about Morgans a
little slower than this. It's not hard and I guess I should have expected
something. The transmission and engine were the only things untouched in
the restoration. Oh well, it probably too hot to drive it now anyhow.
