The more I read this list, the more I feel that Frank is considered a god in
the Spridget world. My mechanical abilities are closer to yours, Bill. An
hour to remove the radiator, and a few bandaids would be used, too. It took
me close to that just to remove the spark plugs when I was checking them out,
considering I had to remove the top radiator hose to get to the alternator
adjustor nut, so I could get the fan belt off and get the alternator out of
the way to get to plug #1. (I gotta getta longer fan belt.)
Maybe Frank has mastered reassembly of the engine using duct tape for quick
tear downs later.

It took me that long to remove the radiator and grill so that I could get to
the pulley that I destroyed (almost) getting off, which led to a long stint
trying to get those two timing cover bolts that frame was in the way (You
know the two), etc, etc, etc.
It took me the better part of the day/night to change the timing chain and
gears and get it back together, running.
A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR, Yeah rub it in some more. Do you and Frank give
lessons, in case I ever break another chain? :) >>
