Hi John

Canadian remains come in all manor of madness and glory. They have attempted
some very strange repairs to cases and parts over the years. I have stripped
allot of the good the bad and the ugly from there program. I think this is
about tiring to use cores that should be scrapped discretion is one key to
quality. I learned this lesson early on with Zamboni air-cooled engines

(Memo to self dated 1983)

Cores parts have a life span
Never contaminate your core supply with Zamboni cores

I also believe that customer support is just as important when problems come
up in a fresh engine. The time I spend on the phone with garages and drivers
has saved endless engines both my and other rebuilders. I'm just a chatter
box about engines this keeps me poor and popular.

going faster miles an hour with the radio on
I remain

B Bob
