I could be wrong, but Larry might not be remembering that Hallett story 100% 
correctly.  In fact, I think Jack was working on our Thunder Bolt (not his 
car, and it certainly was not his mistake).  The two and three liners were in 
wrong.  J K Jackson pointed it out, and Jack Drews led an effort to make 'at 
track' corrections.  It was an ill-advised, albeit enthusiastic effort, (the 
figure eight gaskets got compromised).  Kas couldn't bear to watch, and left the 
area with a grin on his face.  We had a ton of kibitzers, and Jack was getting 
far more help and advise than he needed.  I've got some great pictures of Jack 
working to first get the liners out (enough to turn them), and then to get 
them back in.  We were using a really big hammer.  Can't remember why 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 chocolate milk 
shake.  We had plans to change the oil and run it a BARBER the following week 
end, but decided that was a bad idea.
