Also, they were a source of information. For example, they introduced me to the plastic wire/tape to gauge how to shim piston rod bearings and to a miracle device to compress piston rings, so as to get the pistons back into the cylinders -

Yep, did drums and disks, valves and heads. Now places like O'relies are just wax and grease places.

You misspelled "ultramoron".

reminds me of a story.

first car, a '94 chrysler lebaron--tried doing some 'routine' maintenance to it, changing the spark plugs and wires. went with some super-fancy, E3, tri-tip, platinum, 'extreme' plugs. the marketing material said they improved fuel economy, boosted power, and made the motor run smoother!

it was a sideways v6, so the fronts went in easy, but the back 3 plugs took 4-5 hours to get to, as well as learning about car repair and the swear jar.

finally, all done, i go to start it up, and it'll barely maintain an idle. dies nearly every light on the way to see my grandfather(retired chrysler service manager) to show off my new car and the work i did..

pull up in his driveway, and it's chugging like a locomotive at this point.

start telling him all the things i've done to it, and about the super-amazing things that these fancy spark plugs are going to do after they just need a little time to break in a little.

he shrugs, looks the motor over, and says, "we always just put champion's in the cars. never had this sorta problem."

2 weeks later, it was still running like garbage. champions went in. car never ran better after that.

He's currently losing his puppy teeth and fortunately I've found a few and decided to keep them (I don't know if that makes me weird or not ). But that means he's also teething, so that's been interesting.

my parents still have furniture with teeth marks from the dog we had as kids going through that phase...

I'll trade you an oil cooler for it. Improved Racing's attempt at improving on a 72-row Setrab 1-series. I replaced it because I thought it leaked.

Meh, don't need one. Now if you had a radial arm saw, we could talk.
