>SPL31122602 "Ratster" died last Thursday of an acute circulatory system
>(oil pressure) failure while traveling on I-75 between Sarasota & Tampa
>Florida. The cause of the failure has not been yet determined but
>attempts at revival have proven useless (completely seized). After
>~110,000 miles over the last 10 years, inclusive of 23,000 last year,
>the failure came quite unexpectedly.
>Ratster is survived by his long time partners Eric & Beth Roe, and close
>friend '69 Jeepster Commando who is stepping in to pick up the slack
>created by the unexpected departure. He is being placed in stasis (like
>W.Disney - except instead of liquid N2 he's been dragged into the barn)
>until revival is possible (fiscal not technical hurdles).

>Any suggestions on rebuilding? The engine has not been previously
