Mike, I have a good motor for you (- front cover) Im 90% sure its good, Id still want to comp test it, But if you want it, come take it out of the car, YOU CAN HAVE IT FOR FREE!!! Id rather it get used than sit forever waiting on me to do something with it, plus youre a good guy and I know youve had a pretty tough time as of late, so come get this motor!!!!
Kevin and Crit when are you guys available to do the compression test? I'll make myself available. I guess this all comes back to getting the compression guage from Collin.

Wow... Kevin, this is really great of you. How can I not give this a shot? I assume you are talking about a 12A, right?

My sunroof stopped leaking! 
That looks pretty 
I think I'm going to Flordia early... so I wont be able to make it to this OGTA. I could go see Collin before I leave, so I'll leave those shocks for Billy with him if I see him. If not, I'm over around 20 all the time, so I could meet you, Billy, whenever. Or I could drop them off with Crit... whatever you want. Just let me know.
And Greg, you should get together a weekend meet to swap that other motor into your car if that with Kevin goes through good. I'd be up for it

Greg, if the engine checks out, you can always just give Billy your old front cover. There's no reason it has to come off Kevin's engine. We can check the engine out this weekend if y'all want, if we can get the compression tester from Collin. Otherwise, we'll have it back on Tuesday. Mike, if the car's still running, I'd like to test both yours and Kevin's engine to get an idea on where yours really lies w/ respect to compression.

I've been trying to figure out how Greg came into the picture all morning.
What's the weather going to be like on Tuesday? We should have enough daylight for parking lot repairs and a good set of pictures if it doesn't rain.
Mike I'll bring the spark plug wrench.

My car is running. As long as I have some ATF, I can make it start everytime. We can check out both motors.

Mike, I'd suggest meeting up on Saturday to check out the engine. If it checks out, we could remove it Saturday. We could swap your engine in one day with plenty of time to spare, provided we start early and have had a chance to check out the donor. I'd be willing to do a swap Sunday if the motor checks out and schedules allow.

Anyone know what size bolts are used for connecting the split air pipe to the cat? I'm guessing M8, but I don't have any to test with and the M10s I tried were too large.

I'm not available Sunday at 2 due to another commitment. I can stop by earlier and leave the engine hoist and a few special tools. If y'all would rather get together Saturday or any other time Sunday, I'm in.
