Off to Vancouver for the day. It'* Laura'* Birthday 30 th

Big Time Restaurant reservation.

Driving the Bullet cause the sun will shine.


Grizz Engine scheduled to go back in on Thursday.
Victor has some strong friends that will help.

I know it will take me a week to get it all back correctly and I will only have 3 days,,,, not enough time. And I need to run it myself for the first 10 miles or so just to know it'* right.
Victor needs to know he can't go past half throttle, above 3000 rpm or past 60 mph for the first 500 miles to properly break in the engine but ...............I fear his balls may be bigger than his resistance to smoking his baloneys ..............resulting in catastrophic failure.

I am very proud to report that Victor made Principals Honour Role this term for straight A'*

Paul, it'* simple. YOU break it in, and he doesn't get the keys until it'* paid for.

You won't need strong friends to put the motor back in. 3 people would be ideal. One at each fender spotting and guiding, one on the hoist to lower and raise.

Victor had a friend over after school and in an hour or so had the engine nestled back in its bay.

Victor wanted to lift it in himself but I told him the hoist would be enough so he operated the hoist while I did up the bolts.

No cause it'* got a totally different end fitting that is integral with the tubing.

I'm gonna visit a scrap yard tomorrow on the chance I can find the part there. :(
