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.

And the lucky car is?

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.
