Whew, engine rebuilds are interesting. Just shelled out a whole wedge of money for parts including piston rings and big end shells from germany of all places. Also had dire warnings from forums that if I'm doing this, I should get the crank ground to make sure everything fits, else it will all fall apart. On the other hand, I'm working with a mechanic with an awful lot of experience with classic cars and engine rebuilds, and he reckons it's not necessary, so just hope the best really.

Sounds fun. :D
I don't have too much experience with that kind of stuff, though.
My biggest endeavor so far was loosening an engine block and replacing old pistons.

That'd be his Daihatsu Hijet.

@Jubal, glad and sad to hear that. :/

I've only been around for 1 and a bit, but happy birthday Exilian! I'm glad I found such a great place to call my internet home.

This site has been my home for the last 4 years. Good times. :D

Btw. St. Patrick's day was celebrated in a proper manner. With tons of green beer. :P

I spent the time playing irish songs at a party my sister held, on guitar. Solidly for about four hours. My finger-ends are still painful.  :P

Well if I'd known that I'd have gone to the pub yesterday. I have had an entire half tonight to celebrate our birthday.
