[Shotimes] Overheated car

[Midwest SHO Specialists]

George,

I'm weary about it being crank cancer just for the fact that it started
happening as it was overheated, and the fact that this kid neglected the car
for the most part.  I don't think he had the front of the motor apart the
entire time he had it.
