Andy, what a memory, that's exactly where it all happened, right in the
parking lot of the host hotel and if there is one place you never want to
break down it's certainly with a bunch of T/R owners you will never get so
many suggestions as to what is wrong and how to fix it and of course 75 of
them had already been through a busted "cam shaft", and 23 had experienced
crankshaft failure. Jerry V.V. can also attest to the bad casings !!! :)
