8.80 at a buck fiddy. That's a fun ride.

A neck breaker, and looks like this fellow knows his car and track well Mike, kept her straight like it wanted to go...little tug bac to the right and hit second. 8.80 1/4 is one hell of a ride I bet.
Thanks for sharing

Filled it with oil, cranked it over, it has a tick while cranking, very strange, maybe a sticky valve or a couple collapsed lifters. And oil pan gasket is leaking, dangit. Seems like bolts are too long and not getting any squish. Trying a couple washers to see if it changes.

Nope. First couple lines is all I can see.

Yeah, figured

Talks about how they (dealerships) can't get mechanics.

It goes on to talk about how the starting salaries are so low and the requirement for the new mechanic to purchase their own tools, etc. and that it takes maybe 5 years to become proficient.

Seems like there's an answer to that, but what do I know.

Shop costs are relatively fixed....
