    Nope. I got it though and that's 99% of the battle. I was kayaking last weekend with my buddy who is a tech at Lexus and he said anytime I want he will bring it up to work and throw it in for free. Problem with that is I can't help due to assmunching sue crazy Americans and his works insurance policy. I really wanted to be involved. I have another friend who said he would also do it for free at his house so I could help, prob is I no trust him like the tech who only does engine work and tranny work for his dealership cause they pay the most.

    Good news is I got the title for it a few weeks ago finally so I'm not paying for a lawn ornament anymore.

    Not sure what I really want to do. I also got a second opinion from a drunk engine builder a couple months ago down at my moms marina and he said it was a simple fix and only my rockers that needed adjustment. All he did was listen to it and put a dowel to the block.

    Thinking I yank the top end off for some inspection and decide from there.

    The rockers would/could screw up the compression so it's possible....I just never trust drunks who I don;t know engine builder or not.

    Either way I got the engine at such a good deal I can flip the block after I strip off the accessories and still pocket over a grand in profits.

    I'm getting paid every day no matter how much I work. I may be getting drunk while finishing taking apart the old deck.

    Hope you rip the rest of your knee up :D

    Kidding of course. I know how much a bad knee hurts. Still walking on mine until I make the next rank... I'll have more desk time at that point.
