Laurel has a blown engine....

Call the authorities, Scitzz has escaped the Insane Asylum again!

Terminology

Don't call it a blown engine. It's a horsepower opportunity.

I threw a shoe at it!

No, not really, but thought about it. #3 is frustrating me.

Nawp. Not with hers. I am doing this gratis, all in the name of Festiva Rescue, in the memory of Dean Allan...and cause she is a friend!

MAN! That 89 auto is a pain in the keister! Then, all the electrical connectors have snapped, or worn down tabs, really tough getting them out without breaking them, found a few wires with lots of little breaks, going to shrink wrap them. Exhaust was a monster, and that starter is ....stupid? I dunno, seems something better than that bracket could have been dreamed up, but that one bolt is kind of tough. This one needed some work breaking them loose.

I originally figured 8 or nine hours to reseal the donor engine, pull this one, and drop in the donor. I called it quits after 9 hours, with the old engine ready to be pulled, just fuel lines, trans to motor bolts, and the mount left. Yeesh.

We have a new recruit. Today, I am plotting a BP SWAP, I doubt he knows his danger.

Fellow nutrition transportation engineer I see. Maybe you can talk him into a Festiva, since he's already got the goods. lol.

Nutrition transportation engineer.
I like that.
I just call myself an expedited courier.

[scitzz]

I walked up to him, and was like, "Hey man, I see you drive an escort GT!"

He was first like "Hey, don;t be hating, it is what I have to roll with."

So I felt bad, and warned him not to leave the keys in it while I was around, and why.

I feel worse in a way now, the other closer tonight swears he saw it down the road with the rear smashed in The only good news is it might be for sell/hit a local JY soon! The seats, from the little I saw, looked good too!
