Its all fun and games until dad blows the engine

Man, what a nice place to work...especially since we're getting blistering cold and snow flurries today...I'm rooting for you, and the Steelers...Can you believe that Steelers/Bengals game...

P.S. That 5vz looks a lot better in your shop than it did in mine...
Did that heater valve work for you?

That game was a complete debacle! I didn't care for the Steelers winning, but at least the Bengals lost! Lol.

I didn't get a chance to put the heater valve on yet, it's on the short list.

The shop is nice to work in, it's just a big T-hangar but it's insulated. Great for days like this!

Don't pay attention to my mess ;-)

Got a little bit accomplished between playing in the snow, football, and working on airplanes today.

Thought I would share a few things that make it easier for me.

These pliers will save you some coolant, they have worked pretty well for me.

I've gotten used to wearing mechanics gloves over the last few years. Helps me work faster because I'm not afraid of getting cut up. Also you can see the carabiners hat are keeping all of my wrenches together. A good wide platform to stand on helps out a lot too.

Good on you Sir!

Making excellent progress...

Those crank journals still look good. Maybe a couple rods will fix her right up.
