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

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