I was aware of that work going on but not too involved as I was changing an  
engine myself.  But I well remember the disappointment of not having those  
two cars on track with us.  Steve

Bill,  that is what Paul Harvey would call "the rest of the story".  I lost  
track of what Jack did after his car was pronounced done for the  weekend.  I

went from Jack's engine to yours.  I didn't realize it was  another liner 
problem. He was probably spent by the time it got to our all  night marathon.  
I 
forgot to mention that my son, Tom, was working all  night too.  I let him work 
underneath the car, so the oil could drip in  his face rather than mine. I 
didn't have a spare oil filter, so we had milky  oil on Sunday morning too.  We 
ran it anyway.  All the water  vaporized off during the first race, and the oil 
was clean after  that.

we needed Larry's head, but we did, and I returned it to Jack  after I got 
back home.  We actually got the car running, but the oil  looked like a light

following week end, but decided that was a bad  idea.
