sheeeesss Baaaaccck!!!

Took 2 weeks... The actual work took 3 days.

Short block due to thrown rod, Oil pump.
2 headlight housings due to lose molding.

All under factory warranty.

(I had to pay about $43 for oil and a couple $2 or $3 parts.

Power seems 'normal.' Acceleration seems smooth, but I didn't want to floor it with such a new block in it. I should break it in first.

Glad I didn't have to wait 4-6 weeks !!!

WEEEEEEE!!!!!

Woohoooooo!!!
Way to go Spike!!!!!
Glad to hear it wasn't a longer wait and hope you're good to go.

I'm not sure how much of that "just once" stuff would be needed to cover all the cladding. It may make sense to buy a small bottle and test it out first on a smaller portion of cladding first....the stuff may not be all its cracked up to be or discolor the cladding. Don't know much about the stuff and well who knows??? I think I might just try a little first and be a lab rat??

Have some cheese.. rat!

Yea.. I am extremely glad it was back that fast. But it still shouldnt have happened!

Within 5 minutes after I picked it up.. I went over to the do-it yourself wash.. (they only gave it a spray down, not a good wash at the dealer) and had a customer and an employee asking me questions about her.

I figured the just once stuff was cheap enough, even if we didnt like it, im sure there are ways to get rid of it. I know people with boats... etc....

Okay, get yourself the small bottle ...
