Tuesday (yesterday) at quittin time, the back half was ready for shingles. This morning 3 guys show up at 0800 and stripped the frt half and were cleaned up/ ready to start the rebuild by 1130.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi.
