Yep...sounds good!

My new thrust washers are in (along with new rod-bearings), oil pan's back on, and just added 4 quarts of oil.

Spridgets are all "marching forward" around here! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Sounds like the machine shop boys will get a Christmas gift this year... somethin' liquid, with a Black Label on it perhaps? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Think not doc, he is an ex drugee and alcholic. But I will take the car by so he can see what happened to his work.

When I stoped by the machine shop yesterday he was proud to show me a mga engine he was doing as well. Was a 1500, right?
 
1600. Well, take him a nice big ham then /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
MGA could've been either 1500 or 1600 - depending on year of car.
 
Yeah, I realised that a few minutes after the post /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
Its old age, Doc
 
No argument there.
