    Sorry to hear that Mark, I was hoping it was a "simple" valve problem. I'll be glad to help if I can...

    I dropped Vicki off at the surgeons this morning and she should be going under the knife very soon. She was a little scared and nervous, but I held her tire and told her that everything was going to be just fine and that when she woke up she would feel like a kid again. I also let her know that we would need to take it easy for a little while, but that we would be tearing it up both on and off road before she knew it.

    I have to say that the new Isuzu engine was VERY pretty and VERY complete with only minor things needing to be switched over from the old engine. It was still in the crate with plastic covering it, but I did get some pictures that I will share when I can get them off my phone. One of the pieces of paper stapled to the crate said that the engine had a manufacture date of October 2011. Super cool, because I thought that it was a "new" engine from 2001 or so.
