    I'm no grammar Nazi, but that annihilates me... how lazy can one be?
     
  2. There's no limits on lazy or stupid.
    Now if you mix high ambition with stupid- you get lots to fix. Less problems arise when stupid is mixed with lazy,,,

    That's all very well, but words have specific meaning and should not be perverted in order to deceive.

    This needs to be in the quotes to live by thread.

    You should have a semicolon after the word "intentional". Another option would be a period, and capitalize the "i" on "it" to begin a new sentence. Alternately you could change "it" to "and", thereby using the coordinating conjunction to join the two clauses of equal grammatical rank.

    I can't wait for the comments regarding a semicolon.

    I think the diversions might be an improvement over the original subject matter...

    I’m still trying to figure out how to remove the crank with the cam chain cover, there is a cam chain and a cam attached still
    Grinding the weld out would be the only solution I see, except some time spent with a Zip blade on an angle grinder and just start cutting.

    Jack up the number plates (license plates) and slide a new car under them?

    That was my dad's quote: Jack up the radiator cap and slide a new car under it....
    I'd be tempted to cut the damper/balancer off the old fashioned way. Torch, sawzall, drill a zillion holes thru it and chisel it off.
     
  16. Karl. Your description of the numerous problems with the engine warrants finding a good used engine, and replacing the one you have.
    That would be the cheapest and easiest way to get going again.

    A torch won't touch it, but a plasma cutter will.

    Did he play for J. Giels?????
     
  23. ... kind of like E- or Emergency Brake. :rolleyes:
    I've only seen maybe a handful with a feature like that and all were some types of specialty or racing vehicles, but apparently there are a lot of them all over the place.
    A lot (millions ?) of folks even claim to have such feature in their daily drivers. o_O
     
  24. Now how does restored or rebuilt bowel movement help some one with their nightmares about harmonica balanced vibrator dumping ? :confused: :D

    You're thinking of Richard Salwitz, known as Magic Dick. I assume that the nickname was based on his harmonica skills, and not some unusual physical capabilities.

    This is all to good and fun. I am sure I can get the beast off. I will wait a bit. The engine is tired, so do I want to put the time in pulling the harmonic "....." off, not yet. I put some Bars oil in her and the blue smoke went away....so far, oil pressure came up too.
