Subject: <VV> Always look a gift horse in the mouth. Free 140HP engine


> My buddy Pete Koehler e-mailed me and asked if I wanted a free 140HP
> engine.  He said he gave up trying to take it apart.
> Hell yes, I can get it apart and save the heads, crank, rods, maybe the
> cam.  So he loaded it into his pickup and brought it back to MI from PA.
> This engine looked like it was submerged in a swamp for 10 years!
> After three days of PB Blaster, mineral spirits in the cylinders,
> miscellaneous air tools, crow bars, brass drifts, cutting torch, big
> f***ing hammers and a lot of swearing,
> I can now say "I can't get it apart either".  Several times my wife came
> out to comment "what is that terrible smell?"
> I am especially proud of setting the pile of swamp scum, oil, mineral
> spirits, leaves, mouse nests, etc on fire today with the torch and
> stinking up the garage while I was running around trying to find a
> bucket to fill with water to put the fire out.
> Anybody want a free 140HP engine?  I might even pay you to take it away!

> Ho, ho, ho and a merry Christmas to all, Clark Hartzel
