[Shotimes] I need Engine Help!!! (PS)

[David P]

And if you DO go ahead with an engine swap, this time, go ahead and put in
new bearings NOW, or pay the piper again in a year or two. A bearing change
is cheaper and considerably easier than a motor change no matter which way
you cut it.

BTW, doesn't there seem to be a contradiction here? SHE LOVES IT, and ROD
KNOCK FOR TWO MONTHS NOW?

Now, who says that love is free? It sure has cost me a lot of money...
