Brother, ain't that the truth...  I remember helping a buddy in college swap
motors in his very worn out Rabbit (got the engine cheap.)  Man, was that a
learning experience!!  Amazing the that the bloody thing ran when we
finished.  Thank God for the old "magnet on a stick!!"
BTW, I have forgotten most details of that experience... guess I am no
longer a guru.
Later,
Dale Neidhammer

You become a "guru" by screwing up!

The First attempt at a repair is to Learn.
The Second attempt is to Practice.
The Third attempt is to get it Right!!!!
