Engine build

[907DAVE]

Well it has been at the machine shop for about a week now, and it sounded like they were going to try and squeeze it through for me. I will call them tomorrow and see if there has been any progress, but truth be told the anticipation has been killin me. I HATE not having my truck, but this is not something that should not be rushed, so its a good lesson in patience.

FREEBEE

Funny because I had been planning on my motor breaking for a while now. As soon as I started modding my original, I got this one "just in case".
I did some diagnostic work for a guy and he offered this engine up to my service writer, for the work I did, so needless to say I ended up with the motor after offering up some free labor to my service writer.

Ah yes, the all-dreaded "freebie".

We as technicians never do any of those, do we?

[907DAVE]

LOL......turns out the "free labor" was for me to help him R+R a 6.5 in a 98'. He is not very mechanically inclined, or motivated either.

I think I got the short end of the stick, since then I have told myself that I would never do that again.

I will pay the price until then.

Technically the engine is part of your property. And if the laws say that she owns half then you can tell her you are doing her a favor by building her half.
