[Mg-t] [Mg-mmm] Help needed on XPAG engine

[Lawrie Alexander]

Thanks, Gene. I remember Blair's name from years ago, when I vintage raced 
my TD special. I thought he lived in Minnesota but it sounds as though he 
decided sunshine was preferable to snow!

>> Fellow listers,

>> I've recently had a few phone conversations with a chap in Ft. Walton 
>> Beach, Florida, who is having problems maintaining oil pressure on a 
>> rebuilt XPAG engine. My understanding is that the engine was built from 
>> parts of various engines. I've given him every suggestion I can think of

>> to actually look at the engine and see what might be missing, installed 
>> improperly or in the wrong place, etc. I'd love to do this myself but the 
>> Florida panhandle is a long way from Northern California!
>>
>> So, I write to ask if anyone knows someone in Florida who could visit 
>> this chap and look at his engine, or who I could refer him to somewhat 
>> locally so he could take the engine over there to be checked out. His 
>> name is Brian Wood and his phone number is 850-461-2153, if you want to 
>> contact him directly.
>>
>> Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
