Hey teardown is no big deal. It is the buildup that you want to see. We will be doing that on another weekend. I don't know how much tearing I will be able to do because for some reason I can barely see out of my left eye. Feels like someone jabbed it with a pencil 
I might have to contract someone else that can actually see.
If you want to come please let me know. Robert I got a few beers that you can have so that that hangover will go away.

I should be able to make it... all depends if I can pull myself out of bed that early if I drink tonight LOL!
HA HA HAAA You've got pinkeye!!! Just don't touch it! Shitty thing is that there is nothing they can do for it. If it's viral they can give you a cream o out on your eye and make it better, but if it's viral the cream will make it worse. You've got to wat it out. LOL! When I was in Basic training about 50% of the males got it casue of te scumbags rubbing their eyes then touching everything.

Engine teardown went smoothly. All parts looked to completely fine and within tolerances..... except the center iron. The coolant jackets on each side of the center plate are missing a chunk. So looks like Z will be needing a turbo center plate along with a rebuild kit and maybe apex seals if he wants to get it put back together.

yeah. it went well. came apart too easy. ain't used to that. inside looked real clean also. thinkin it was rebuilt at one time. just wasn't paid too close attention to the center housing. so hopefully he can get one from a cosmo, or a 3rd gen this week so we can put it ack together. the motor was so clean that the oil ring seals were still green.
