Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Last look at the old girl for a while. Duty calls again and thankfully good friends step in to help out. At least I know while I’m away she’s in good company and in good hands

It comes and goes, sometimes you just need a break. I unfortunately didn’t have time available for one. Give me a week away from her and I’ll be in full lust again...

Parts are already showing up with Gringo's name on it! The next 3 years are going to be great for me, when I order something for the Blazer I can just tell my wife that Gringo ordered it.
