Got Lucky

Hey Yall,

I got the engine in the kitchen floor (wife was asleep) and cleaned it up. After emptying the 10w oil, I was able to get the engine to turn over by hand. Seems a bearing had froze up in the cover on the clutch side

My freebie is still at $0 so far. Stay tuned and lets see how far we can go before we have to shell out some cash.

man,your lucky she didn't come out to get a drink of water or something.
my old lady had a fit when i tried to powder coat some parts in the oven.

I love it.....true ATC fans. I love the powder coating in the oven. That's great. I rebuilt an 86 250R in the bedroom of my apartment a long time ago.

My girlfriend at the time didn't care. I then finished rebuilding the motor on the kitchen counter in our house in NY.

that same night we make homemade pizzas,turn on the oven,and leftover fumes from the parts whaff through the air in the kitchen,damn,cold busted.
wont live that down for sometime.
but hey,the parts turned out ok,pizza was good,slept on the couch for the night after a good trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro chewwing.
