In case anyone was wondering I had to ditch the party cause my 7 was overheating. I have been told that overheating a rotary too much even once can ruin it. Is that true? As I was following the blue FC out of the mall it was clear I had no coolant left. I had to race across the street to the Shell station and start spraying water on my radiator trying to cool it off. I had to add coolant a few times but I made it back late last night. Alls well that ends well!

overheating a fresh motor isn't so bad, though the older a motor is the easier the seals will be compromised due to higher temps. if the engine has moderately high miles on the engine then i wouldn't push your luck with it, get it fixed asap.






next meet i suggest meeting up at the american river like i suggested for this meet. :p

Apparently, you people do not know what a VOICE MESSAGE is. It works like this: you call someone and if they don't answer, you leave a VOICE MESSAGE so that the person will know you called and why. I didn't answer my phone last night because I was in the garage and I didn't hear it. When I came back inside, there were 4 missed calls and no voice mail. I didn't recognize any of the numbers so I didn't call back. And thanks for letting me know so far in advance about tearing down the motor (sarcastic). You do realize that I live at least 30 minutes away, right?

Sorry, if that came off as sounding a little bitchy. I think I caught the flu from some of those nasty people I work with

Ben, I won't be leaving the house today, because I don't want to get you sick. I guess I have to miss most of the beginning of this rebuild and just wait for the NA. Or I'll just get that tape one day when I finally get out of this house
