Made a road trip to ERA last Friday to pick up my "half roller". Ripped open a trailer tire getting the trailer into ERA's parking lot. The ERA boys had the spare mounted on the trailer in less than 3 minutes. Couldn't get the trailer lock open so I said "Guess we'll have to cut it off" The ERA boys came out with a cut-off tool and the lock was off 20 seconds later. Their customer service knows no bounds

Dan, you asked about the engine. I have an opportunity to buy a side-oiler short block and am arranging to have a local engine builder disassemble, clean, magnaflux and possibly pressure test the block. Hopefully the block, crank and rods can be made like new again and that will be my starting point.
Merry Christmas....Happy Holidays, everyone. I'm off to spend some quality time in my garage
Regards,
Kevin
