wow, wearing a white jacket during a tear down. good to hear not much damage.

btw, i would recommend getting a putty knife. comes in handy when removing oil pans, baffle, etc...without damaging, bending the parts.

Yeah, I have one but the oil pan baffle complicated things...needed something with a little more persuasion to get things apart.

That jacket has been through the ringer, which is why I use it for teardowns. I have another just like it that's a lot nicer.

You know what, I've wondered this as well. It could be a reference to Sérgio Mendes' group "Brasil 66" which helped fuel the popularity of bossa nova style Brazillian music in the 60's. I played in a big band after college that had a very old book of jazz standards. Every once and a while we'd pull out a tune called "Brazil 66, Argentina 0". Given the two country's strong football (aka soccer) rivalry I figured it was some sort of game score or stat, but I have never seen a football match make it to 66 goals.

Been awhile since I posted, so I thought I'd share that Brazil 66 took home the "Raddest Import" award from Radwood NorCal last Sunday! Totally worth driving 20 miles one direction on slicks and getting a sunburn.
