    Sorry about the bad edit. It was quick and by hand.
    Injector testing is never a bad idea. We have the time. :)

    Every dollar I spend on that... is a dollar that can't be spent elsewhere... that's all.

    I would get the injectors cleaned and flow tested, while it's apart

    Epoxy on a hot Iron block?

    Duct tape, that's always the answer.

    Back to this bei9ng about me and my MINI for moment...

    The supercharger nose seal is bad. leaking down the block. Smells awful I'm told. Getting a rebuilt with a 15% pulley. Nice that the core is already there.

    Chad has modded rebuilds to make the better. Check out - Eaton M45 Supercharger R53 R52 MINI Cooper S

    The cockpit? What is it? - Well, it's the place the pilot sits, but that's not important now.

    While I was changing the earl in my MINI down at the shop today I saw Nathan go zipping by in one of these critters... I think he's become quite attached to them...:D

    I've got to say it was an interesting day. I know the frustration on both sides, i.e. having everything done, wrapped up and ready only to find that when you present it to the customer...something is wrong. I repair jewelry and have BTDT. It's no fun for either party. Sometimes the car God's just suck...

    I have to say I cannot fault Chad and Nick on this in any way. They have inherited a mess.

    This car has had more hands on it than Mary...

    Just to be clear, does Nathan have to be the one doing the moaning and gesticulating while wearing a grass skirt?
