Nah but I'm paying a guy to babysit me. He used to race Subarus so he took them apart and put them back together every week.

Do you reckon he should have done it "right" the first time? -

I think what humfrz is asking is if you shouldn't wait until he can keep one of his own engines together before you let him work on yours?

But how can you improve it if you don't keep taking it apart?

I guess if practice doesn't make perfect, at least it makes better.

Oh well if you want to win races you replace parts everyweek even if you dont wreck or blow up. You don't take every single thing apart every week but you are taking something (usually multiple things) every week. They don't wait till their wheel bearings make noise to change them like we everyday drivers do.

Tcoat's motto, back in the day:

"If it ain't broke, take it apart anyway"

I can probably pull down and put back together a 327 or 440 blindfolded to this very day!

This is bugging me!

Does anyone else get up to 10 robo calls a day on their land line?

We are on the national do not call list and have the max allowed (20) callers blocked with our local phone company and still from 7 - 10 calls get through a day ….

If it weren't for us being on the granddaughters school emergency call list, I would just pull the plug on the land line during the day.

Suggestions or comments??
