Good to have a plan and nice to see you hooked up with a knowledgeable dude who can help.
I want meaning the parts are old and worn out but to an engine shop they are used parts and engine shops dont generally like used parts.

I knew exactly what you meant, no offense at all, I greatly appreciate your advice. After talking to this guy, he is of the "if it ain't broken why fix it" generation, which I appreciate.

He suggested I not pull the engine until he has a chance to stop by and check it out. He was going to call his buddy about another clients engine and just added my need for the end cap to his list of things. He told me that at his age, he only works on friends and referrals, since my buddy used his services many times, he was glad to work with me.

More to come as this elongated project continues.
