(funny thing about that is, that cops drove by looking at me take this motor apart and gave me funny looks along with my neighbors...)

i also want to note that it was my first time tearing down an RE, soo i took my time to look at were vac hoses were hooked up to, etc.. and i got distracted by ppl looking at me and asking questions about what i was doing lol


The tear down
