So, I've got a thirty-two year old car with 94,000 miles on it. Far as anyone knows, the motor's never been opened up. It smokes a bit when cold, or when I really tromp on it, and it does tend to consume a quart of oil every 600 miles or so. Yeah. A rebuild candidate for sure, but nothing that has to be done tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year (so sit down, mom). I can only hope whoever eventually rebuilds the motor takes the time and care this guy did for a "good friend" of his. With pictures!

Damion has a guy this good for his Honda, who will do stuff and then ask Damion how much it should cost. The professional Alfa mechanics left in the US are all crusty, cranky old men with chips on their shoulders. Ah well, that's what my Roth account is for. Go stock market, go!
