You mean "blows up again". Heck, I put the same engine back together several
times now, only 210,000 miles on it, haven't even gotten to the second rebore
yet, let alone sleeving. What would I need with another engine?
Actually I am currently doing up a spare engine, just in case I ever need
that overnight swap, and hoping I'll never have to use it. Y'all out there
have some good ideas on how to store a spankin' new rebuilt motor
indefinitly? I think maybe dry nitrogen in a large baggie. Any more?
One reason I get along so well with my one LBC is because it is just one.
Gives us lots of time together, being monogynous you know. If I had two,
probably neither one would get enough personal attention. I'm sticking with
just the one. Keeps our performance up.
I figure a person shouldn't drive a car any newer than their original
driver's license. That would get me up to a '66 B. Hummmm! Sounds about
right. Could be some sense to it after all.
