We got medium gray, cloud cover, no snow, and getting colder. Our Lord 2014, unknown overnight, and I have a correction on that. Today is the 17th snow on the ground and oh well it is to be expected. Mind I stand in a piece of bent metal in the other. The magazine gets inserted into the magazine. Well we've touched that slide release and now there's one in the chamber and hey if we can tell everybody it is a weapon one day the perimeter is secure and you know there's plenty more where that came from. Opportunity, coercive force. 1911 being an excellent choice. Under the tree and that means ammunition, mags or a new weapon for somebody but ammunition for everyone. Ah, maybe prepare for combat tactical gear. Camouflage or OD green socks, whatever you can find, but... And we're going to... Every dollar, every family member! We're a young buy-in. You got any kind of weapon, my eyes and gals. Well, shoot them all. That's right. You'll be able to shoot somebody. Hey, we got Tom in Florida on line 180. Morning, Tom. Hey, good morning, Joe. Mark, there aren't one thing's difference between a Chevy and a, uh, a lot of the passengers. That's not something I've ever ran across. Well, that'll vary depending upon the year, GM with a GMC if you get a GMC that has the the alternate starter station Remember that run overseas engineer choice thing and a lot of those are Mexican and Chinese real Manufactured but let's switch out you know another place for that to put up really mentioned if you had a CJ 5 During an engine made you couldn't stick in that vehicle where they got that from well in American Motors Corporation never really designed anything itself what they bought from for their motor application I have a friend of mine I to a degree always hated him but you know we put every stinking motor you could imagine in less than two years why? I think what's private cheapest engine he could get so we can put a 427 a 232 a 250 a 300 a 383 we went from Ford to Chrysler to GM and that Jeep and Everything was motorbikes making sure you have the spacer for the you know the from the trans to the engine We'd be driving down 23 and all of a sudden she started to belt smoke you make a... if you change out vehicles you can make a gun mount cap on or something like that you lift the whole weapons platform right out and then you drop the other... you get one shot up and you get frag or even a horse force and that's what we're doing. Again, being able to run them along the operational, they finally give up the nail down and it's ready for the next one. One of the things we were going to do, it was that the Bundy Ranch whole fleet of vehicles, I already checked with the sun, there's a whole fleet of vehicles up on the hill. What was there? We weren't going to take and the one or two Fords that are there. And that was gonna be so that we didn't have to worry about the way to do it. That's the way to think about this. It'll go ahead, and that's it. Getting her done. Well, that brings up another point. You can pretty much heat a cast iron motor, passenger head, make that so never do that to me again. Yeah, that's the last time you're doing that. Well, like I say, the idea, of course, the reason we're bringing this up, for those of you out there listening, is Simple works. If you open the hood on some of these Chevy pickup, I'm not like the new ones, but you can actually climb in there and move around. Things like, oh, I don't know, air conditioners. Most of these older trucks, air conditioners, they don't work. Unless you absolutely need air conditioning. Take your wrench just unbolt everything just throw it out. Wait a minute. Get it down to where you can handle it. I've tried to go into combat. Someplace to hang your half-inch steel plate. Yeah, and even that falls when you push it. You hit one rod, you push it and then you just shove it out because you're out of the thing before you become part of one of them. Very hard on the hinges. It's not just the getting into and going down the road. Always remember, can you get out? You know, any armored crew that will tell you that guys are mechanized. It's like yeah, it's a horse kid used to be you just jump off the horse to become that non-target up there on that high spot I'm being corrected here. The square body style went up to 91. I knew it was somewhere up there 89 90 So the problem the problem with the end run is that you couldn't buy them, you know, that's the cock feet production They just go up to but the thing is that you could we couldn't go from Chevy anymore They would be really pissed peo you because you said well, we can't get there anymore. You go by the Chevy plant there in Flint and there be lines of them but they were for government application. Right I was gonna say I'm sure that's where those were. Yeah and that's where the cuckvees come from so that if when like we said those cuckvees are totally interchangeable from all of the minor and major compulsive problem is when they were making the new bubble bubble Chevy's the round-body Chevy's overlapping from the plant because the government continued. Another thing real quick about the GMC's is the closer you are to the Toronto Sea which is where it comes and remember guys if you talk to your or you talk to your guys that are dealers for Chevy for GM products. By then number you can tell where it came from. Here you'll have that D-CAT there and it'll tell you data production, it'll give you the serial number, it'll give you heat to manufacture. And if you're looking for particular heads, for example, just take the valve cover off and the number's right on the head in there and then you can punch in and see. Because there was good manufacturing, that's not to say that Chevrolet is the ultimate product, but they did have good ones, bad ones, like everything else. Well, the thing about it was like, you know, the caller to talk about the GMCs, the thing is that the GMCs are more likely because the can heads would have... What happens is, and we know this from inside the factors model, get to it. Nancy will tell you, Rick. Rick, that's the one for this car. Oh, trust me, that is the one for this car. You see that? I read. See that Acme adapter kit? Yeah, called the Holtz Fiddler and Needle Lake machine. Yeah, Nancy Stink, she did that. She worked at Plant Plants and Lansing, everything, Hilber and Flint. First and one M, with the GMCs, the other part about like we did with the contract is remember that other had spectra. And then our friend from Florida said, have one of these. You wanna know how that thing got in Florida? How it got into Florida. This is how you'll have multiple part numbers for the same application. But I-75, you see a lot of people used to live here in Michigan and it was like buy vehicles that come from over the bridge. Well then they retire and they take it down to where? 75 to the other peninsula. Florida. Yeah, and that's where this... And the thing is, if you've got a GMC, it's like an international harvester for, you know, up here where we are. You're working on a GMC as opposed to Chevy. The reason? Because if you've got a Canadian Chevy... Yeah, you want to... Hey, let me open that box before we leave. Number one. And let's look at that. Oh yeah, that is the correct starter. Everything got the right angle and pitch. That's not yours. Just to make sure it's not one of those kind of expensive parts. Have them bench down. I tell you what, we put a water pump in a Lincoln Continental one time, take out all the air conditioning and all the pulleys and the fans, everything that we had to do. Put it all back together with a new water pump. Only to put it in a freeze, water, get it all fired up, and just pouring water out of the weep hole. So start over. Yeah, remember all that stuff you did? You'd all come off easier now, won't it? You know all those things. Again, here's the thing. In the field, that's especially critical, guys. So another rule is when you're putting stuff back together, put it back together, the next person is going to turn the wrench on it. Well, you know, I'll tell you what we do here, you know, if it's something that, you know, especially if it belongs to us. We use things like when we put it all back together, use things like anisees to keep things from seizing up and breaking off, this kind of thing. And put it back together like, okay, if I have to work on this again, I want it to be a little easier than last time. One of the things you can do very easily is snap off the exhaust manifold bolts. Oh, yes. And you know, we could sit here and talk about mechanics all day. I know just a little bit about it. When you run into those kind of things, for those of you out there listening, you don't put, you know, like an exhaust manifold bolt, you don't put your wrench on there and just, I'm going to get this thing off there. That's not where you want to go. You actually kind of want to wiggle the wrench back and forth and make sure it's coming loose without snapping the bolt off. While we're in this department, you're right about that. If you've got aluminum head and you walk out the hood, you've got extension and the right that cold motor and shuttree or four more times. Next time you try to put a plug in and tighten it you might just... Well, have a problem there. Tighten it, tighten it, never get tight. Very innovative, exposed to the combustion chain. Where really, really hot things happen and liquids turn to rapidly expanding gases, sometimes solid a piston, and in the cylinder head and the ring, open the hood. You take off your rinse, you turn it a quarter turn, you turn it back in, you go through that be it a 4, 6 or 8 cylinder motor, you run it first, you turn it off, you hardly have even got the exhaust manifold hot, turn it back into the combustion chamber, let that plug out, you don't drag that carbon. You know, other things that, you know, steel bolts and aluminum heads, for example, that's not a good combination. Steel and aluminum have a tendency to corrode against each other. Usually it's the aluminum that gives. But when you're dealing with those applications, aluminum versus steel or iron, like I say, the best thing you can do is just try wiggling the bolt with a box end or something. Just try to wiggle it back and forth and get a little bit of movement on it. And that way you will not be twisting the bolts out. There's a gentleman in the chat room here right now. He has a 83 Chevy heavy half ton that I had right here in the shop. I know he's listening. He actually, and how'd he even run, I don't know. He had a busted intake manifold, if you can believe that. But there were bolts that were broke off on the intake manifold that when you pulled the head off, it looked like a stud sitting there. that we had to fish out. And they do have tools called stud removers, this kind of thing, that you can do that stuff with. And we're getting a little technical here, but folks, these kind of things, just as much as you need to know about your weapons, you need to know about your vehicle and availability of parts and durability and longevity and how to fix it. If you don't, you're going to find yourself in trouble real quick. So in the effort of keeping it simple, we're telling you that Chevrolet products between 73 and 87 and in the case of Suburbans, they only did it with the Suburbans, I think, and the Blazers up to 91. All those things are changing each other. If you have a throttle body situation, don't let it deter you. You can change the intake manifold and put a carburetor on it. body you can actually just change the throttle body out into a carburetor with an adapter plate. Exactly. So and if it's a vortex and you'll know it'll stay right on a vortex, you can still change it over. Pull the intake, you have to get an aftermarket intake that'll adapt to a carburetor but it can still be done. And the difference is like Don was pointing out, as most of your intakes are in a valley and the bolts go like at an angle into the heads, but on a vortex With that special intake map all your bolts go straight down. You mentioned that particular motor you guys if you come to the point where man that motor is dead in the pickup bed in the van that motor is overlaid you've got an all-iron 1980s the next year motor you guys may change to that to say that on like 1980s technology if you if you lose that all-iron motor in your previous to 80 saying it's never ran like this before and it might even be a smaller motor. And you can put a set of Wartek heads on a Chevy block. Yes you can. You'll need a different manifold but you can't do that. You'll need to get that... You'll also need to back up your advance by about 12 degrees because that's how efficient that cylinder head is. You try to run that motor with fission cylinder head. It doesn't need all of the advance that the 1954 design did. Hey, we got John and Maine, let's grab John here real quick. Well, I'll tell you what, hang on John, we'll grab you after the, uh, we'll take a quick break here and we'll come right back. But we've got John and Maine on the line. Don't go anywhere. We are at the bottom of the art. Time number for night vision, please. Hey, that number is two, three, one seven nine six, eight, four, five, eight. But you might want to look up your local junkyard number if you need the motor for your pickup truck, because there's more tech motors in the junkyard. Be right back you guys.

Alright, we're back here at the bottom of the hour, hour number three here on the Morning Intel Report. I'm Jim McNeil here with Mark Corby, Donald Escher and John and me. Good morning, John. Good morning, gentlemen. Hey, I just asked to talk long enough. I've got a quick story and then I've got a super tip on getting rusted poles. My 88th Fort Lariat had died a rusty death here. And you are correct when you say, hardjability is the key. I usually had, Jim, I needed a C6 transmission for a small block forward. No problem. Well, I'm right, I'm back in the old days. I get one, it's the same, the shift lever isn't the same, won't work actually. Thing in there, and I can't even turn, it's all bound up. Texas came off a 351 winter, will not work on a 302. We don't torque converter in, and now the starter won't bolt up because the actual belting on that thing is just a little bit different. I sit off and tell him, hit me in the face, and I manage to get that thing nice. Beautiful. I mean everything, bodied a whole nine yards. Works good. I got it for Song of the Dance because they couldn't get it started. The control module got it started, changed the engine and rotor and it runs like a prop. 38. So now I'm back from the old days. When I got back from mom, I had a Corvette 64 Corvette. And if I needed parts, I went to the junkyard. It didn't matter where, I needed brakes. Got them off a 64 Impala or a 68 Impala. Whoa, that's a Corvette, doesn't matter. It's a shovel, it'll work. It's a rotors, anything, you know. Yeah, right, interchangeability. Now here's the rusty bolt, okay. I know we all love, and as you know when you go to bleed your brakes how they were of a truck out there. And I did not want real cylinder oil in that before. Somewhere I found a little tip, hank up, and when it's heated up good, it's a little torch, whatever. It'll get heated up perfect, heated up perfect. I think you got enough? Little bit of effort and guess what? That sucker unscrewed. I had that WD-40, I tried all kinds of, you'd name it, keflon, anti-seize remover, the whole nine yards. None of it opened it up. And I did that with a paraffin and I'm telling you, it came right off so funny. Hey, this must work. You're the second person that's brought my attention in the last two weeks. It works. You heat them up and you just take some paraffin and wipe it right where the threads go into the hole. It would be better if you could heat the hole up because what heat does is it draws the paraffin in. You heat it up and you do that three or four times to let it cool down and then you take it and pull it right out. Nice and convenient. Well in some cases heat is the winning benefactor there. in some applications. What I usually do is if I have to, if I get the smoker wrench out and I'm going to heat it up, usually I'll just strike the bolt with a hammer one time, just strike it. And then try to take it out. This is the applications where that doesn't work. This will work. Alright, that's a good point. I'll keep that in mind. I've never heard of that one. Yeah, and I did it on the someplace and it was so rushed that I couldn't get it out. You didn't want to tear a break because you never get another one in and you know, one of them things. I put the starting device downstairs three or four times. And again, it didn't just come, slick right out. It took a little bit of, you have to make sure your wretches on there tight or your socket and you put them down and just move them through it. Well, you know, you brought something to mind here. Here's something I taught my boys. When you take something apart, the first thing you do, you don't do anything else. You go over to the wire wheel and start cleaning up bolts. And if it's okay, you put the bolt back in the hole that it came out of. That's very important. You clean everything up so that way you're not using sand or grit or whatever. Try to put the bolt back in the hole and ultimately you're cross threading or stripping the threads because of all the garbage in there. So folks, just a little tip. As you take something apart, Like I said, I use a wire wheel. We clean everything up. That way when you go to put it back together, it's like a glass. It just goes right together. Kerstin and automatic transmission fluid are your friends for some kind of office part. Anything else, John? No, that'll do it. I just wanted to throw that in there especially with the fun part. Well, we're glad to hear you got yourself a Chevy, my friend. Yeah, I'm always that Chevy. I'm a Chevy type person. This Ford Marriott, that four years, that thing was the most reliable running vehicle. I mean, the engine was beautiful in it. Just the whole frame rotted out. The trainee went. Forget trying to get parts. You need another truck exactly like it. So yeah, I got this 88 and full size, three quarter 10 feet. My yard is what I do. I don't fly with snow and landscaping. All right, folks. You have a good day. Yes, I have to make tools in the wire wheel. What are you going to do about the hole? You blow it out. Half that's even better. Yeah, exactly. Don't be too aggressive. Again, the idea is be patient when you're working on equipment that has to be just a reminder for all of you, but if you've got something to say again, address everything to be safe so that you don't have that snap. Oh, what's that snapping sound? Oh, it earns so much easier now. Yeah. If you have to repair port motors these days or aluminum, you guys, if you put a steel... That's it. ...in the right place... Well, we can get really technical here. For all of us that actually do twist rinses, but without scaring anybody away, for those of you who are not, again, mechanically inclined, let's go with the pretense that you don't know how to twist rinses or fix things, and you're actually going to pay somebody to fix something. These particular models that we're talking about are not labor intense as in the new ones, okay? Because you can literally Get in get up in the engine compartment get in there and sit and work on it if that's what you wanted to do and The parts are again, so simple. It may not look that way, but it really is by comparison so again, we're talking about from 73 to 87 in the pickups and the Chevy And as Don pointed out, you know some of those years you're going to have a throttle body application with the engine control module and the distributor. All these things can be changed. Think of it this way. That motor sitting in there has different accessories attached to it. And you can change those, pull it out, put in a point distributor or an ATI distributor. You can change the heads around. There's so many things that you can do. But the point of everything that we're talking about here this morning is there easy to work on, parts are available anywhere you go in America there's no reason why you can't find used parts, new parts it doesn't matter what else is going on anywhere these trucks here, like I said, they were made from 73 to 87 and in the Suburbans they were up to 91. Now that was just basically the body style. You're going to find a little bit of difference in the motor under the hood and a 91 than you will a 73 But if you have a donor vehicle sitting somewhere, you can strip all the parts off of one, strip one down, put those parts on, and get it to work just like a 73. And that's going to work in your benefit. And you're going to... Talk about the newer trucks for a minute, because a lot of people might have a truck that's 10 years old. That's a newer truck compared to the trucks we've been talking about. Yeah. You know, that's something we have to remind ourselves. We're talking about 30 years old. You don't even see a distributor on a new Chevy truck or a new Ford truck. A Chrysler truck. Application and the Chrysler application can buy an Edelbrock front cover. V8 distributor. Yes. No longer dependent on the EMP. Now you've gone back to point and condenser. You can run that brand if you have the right driver than swapping out a whole motor you guys. things that you can do. Anyway, we haven't talked much about this. Folks, you've got a drawing coming up day after tomorrow, today's weapons. So Wednesday, Friday morning, we're going to have a drawing for a KU-BAN satellite receiver system. Five dollars to get your name in the hat five times. A dollar per entry after that, and no limit on how many entries you make. All right? We are in desperate need of your contributions, your donations, my friends. And for us to continue to bring this kind of information as much as everything else that we need to understand what's going on, we need to stay on the air. And are our problems solved? No, they're not. We haven't even paid this month's bill yet. We still have one major one to get over here yet. We're not even getting close. Donations have literally slowed down to a crawl. $20 here, $5 there. My friends, We do want to keep going and right now unbeknownst to most of you I don't know what this is sounding like out there But there's something going on with this mixer board right now, man I got weird stuff going on lights that don't apply to anything or lighting up But hopefully the new one to be in here on Friday as a matter of fact, I hope We get this changed out You can stay on there with the PO box 164 Kami, Idaho, please send us a postal money order You don't even have to fill it out. Just send it blank and we'll apply it to the right application here, the right people. Even if you don't afford Trump. Yeah. Also go to the front of the website. You have a donation button there. If you expect us to be here or take us for granted, whatever you want to do, we need those contributions coming in. Folks. And again, the only thing we have to offer here right now is the YAGI antennas are gone. We are going to have an additional drawing on the last day of the year 2014 for a FM100 Ramsey transmitter, which actually belongs to me. It's the transmitter that started the whole micro effect, everything from its very beginning that I used to start broadcasting on. And along with that you'll get a YAGI antenna with that transmitter. And that requires a $10 minimum contribution and a dollar for entry after that. No limit on how many entries you make. So if you'd like to get a little station up and going. By the way, you know, I've got, perhaps some of you remember Evelyn in Maine. I got a really long letter from her yesterday. And bless her heart, man. She is up and broadcasting. She I don't know if I can explain this. The micro effect has affected people's lives in different ways. For example, I'm not going to give any names, there was a couple out in Colorado that relocated to Missouri because of all the things we talk about here in the micro effect. Getting out of the system, what you have is what you have, whether it's a lawnmower shed or whatever. And evidently Evelyn did the same thing. She was on assistance. and this kind of thing, and she's no spring chicken by the way. I'm not really sure how old Evelyn is, but she got out of the government assisted housing projects and the food stamps. All the things that they would want the elders to be on, and she's learning to be self-sufficient, and it sounds like she's doing a really good job. So God bless her. If you're out there listening this morning, Evelyn, I did get your letter. your catalog. It was almost a catalog. It was quite a few pages in there, but I did read your letter and God bless you, I know. Anyway folks, for us again to continue this, we need your contributions and your donations. Nobody's going to do it for you. You have to step up and do it yourself. We're asking for, I don't know, a price of a pizza, you know, $100, $500, whatever you can give. We are in need of thousands of dollars, not hundreds of dollars. We're in need of thousands of dollars. So 208-935-0094 is the number to call, 208-935-0094. Get in on the drawing for this Friday, and again, we're going to have the other one at the end of the month. This is all that we can do to try to encourage anybody to participate with the micro effect. This is all we can do. We don't have anything free to give away. You know, we don't produce or manufacture anything. It's what we have to do. So again, 208-935-0094. If you can find something that you can throw towards us here to keep us on the air, we'd appreciate that very much. And again, our snail mail, PO Box 164, Kamiye, Idaho 83536. Let me say this on behalf of Evelyn. who only gets now $16 a month. $16 a month for food stamps. When she used to get $200. But the lady is trying to get out. She's sacrificing whatever it is she has to sacrifice. $16 a month. She sent us a $20 donation yesterday. A $20 donation. She's explaining in the letter how difficult everything is. But she believes in the micro effect so much. She said And I almost want to send it back. I feel that way. Really, here at Evelyn, you need this 20, as much as we need money, I'd be all $16 a month. So there's a person who's putting it all on the line. God bless you Evelyn, if you're out there listening this morning. 208-935-0094. And mark them down, we've got about 12 minutes left in the program. So, you know, again folks, we're telling you these things because When times come and you can't afford to fix those new fancy vehicles or you know, whatever You know, I had a guy one time come into my shop. He was so happy man, I bought this Honda car it was a Honda car Civic or something whatever it was man, I got this thing for 300 bucks and Go ahead and change the oil and stuff. He came back a couple days later. He said man, my car just shut off So we wouldn't got a guy get in the shop and we looked at all over and this car that he's so happy with that he paid $3.04 I kind of broke his heart when I said, well you know here's your problem it's the ignition module, engine control module is out and for this particular model of Honda it's $305.00. Oh we just double shot it. He said you gotta be kidding. I said, no, I said, look, I want you to see here's my receipt for where I what I had to pay for it and I'm not marking it up or anything. It's 305 bucks. So just to give you an idea, you know, what's the set of points cost these days, Don? Oh, about four bucks. Yeah, four or six dollars. Yeah. Here's a $300 engine control module, which basically does the same thing as the set of points. So. That would be the difference in what you would be dealing with with an older vehicle. You know, sitting here, it doesn't really dawn on me as I'm talking, man, we're talking about vehicles that are 25, 35 years old. But you know, there's thousands of them out there. And you know, my theory in life is, first off, I've never bought a brand new car, ever. I'm not interested in a new car, never will be. But as long as those wheels go round and round, and take me where I want to go that's all that's required. Now if I want dependability you know think about it folks if you're spending I don't know two, three, four, five hundred dollars a month on a car payment why don't you go fish out of the junkyard just a frame and on that frame just spend two, three hundred dollars a month buy a new suspension, buy this, buy a motor, buy a front end, buy this, buy that and when you get all done you'll have something that's worth more Then the guy that bought the new one, as soon as he drove it off the lot, he lost a couple thousand dollars in depreciation and it's going downhill from there and forever while yours is going uphill in value. Not that you would want to sell it, but you built in the stability, the dependability yourself and you know what you have because you built it yourself. So think about along those lines, as long as the wheels go round and round and you can get to where you're going safely, comfortably. And it doesn't matter what year it is. And you know, I tell you what, the reason they kept building these particular body style, these particular pickup trucks, because they're still desirable today. They're still, that's why they just continued and continued. Everybody just kept finding, oh, I like those shows. I'm going to give me one one day. Well, they kept building. Yeah, okay, finally, I can afford one. But they're out there today. So 30, 35 years old makes no difference. They're still, parts availability beyond belief for these particular Vehicles and like I said, it's not limited you you can take an old Impala with a 350 and get out throwing your pickup truck in all interchanges Unlike other you know Ford products Well, there's a point to be made here and I did that I did that little jab a little while ago Even if you own a Ford because we're stepping on some post certain. There's people who love their yeah the Ford guy. Yeah, they're quite And again, how many bell housing patterns are there for a small block board? If you go forward, we're not trying to beat you up or nothing here. Yeah, we're not trying to make you look bad. Right. We're just stating the facts. Even if you own a Ford truck, it would be good help to support the micro effect. Now this goes over to like, when I was a youngster and my grandparents, one of my grandparents dragged me off to a corn bureaucratic media from the Republicans. My daddy was a Chevy guy, my father was a Republican. See how that works? It's the same thing, isn't it? Right. Like that. Hey, we're not talking about little dinky rivalries. Can you say Zora? Now we're invoking some icons. And this one's deep. We're in the nation of undo, doesn't it? Otherwise you wouldn't be listening to the hour. I think every patriot. in America should own a Chevy pickup truck equipped with a CV radio a 200 200 watt biliner a GPS a good stereo Everything you need a scanner and all that and you're good to go every patriot in America And if you pass another patriot, he's broke down on the side road. He's got a Chevy. Well Hey, take him to the nearest boat yard and pick up some parts Okay, what have we got? We got one minute left, one minute. Any more words of wisdom from you gentlemen, and we'll have to do it again tomorrow morning. Well, we got Don here, Don, night vision technology. You do have resources available. How can we get a hold of you once we hang up here in a few minutes? Hey, goggles or gun sight screens, your thermal iPhone number is 231. And you know, the basics of what we've talked about for the morning, you guys, you're going to be changing motors. If you don't put a fuel filter in one day, you might just be going down the road. What are we pushing? Basic maintenance is going to keep you from replacing big, can't empathize enough. Keep a proper oil level. And keep a oil. You know in Europe, at 5.0, I can't see how that's... But I would say that when Saturn came out, it's too bad Obama killed. When Saturn first came out, people were saying, oh those Saturn motors are only good for 100,000 miles. Well, that used to be an impossible number. But you know what, that Saturn 4 cylinder had a leaky front seal. And if you were driving it around with 2 quarts of oil in it when it had 4 quarts capacity, you're kind of overheating that oil and you're kind of running it over a hundred thousand miles. My point made right there, keep the proper oil level and keep in it and man oh man. Get out of that motor. Another thing, don't throw away that old oil, kid. stickiness that you need so nothing goes to waste. The oil is quite useful even if it is a little tired, a little bit more gassed up, what beats the path of the rings from that carburetor motor. Well I'll tell you what, we can touch on some of this tomorrow. Seat phone call, seat firing, all kinds of stuff. We're at the top. For everybody out there guys, Joe the drawing is coming up this Friday. That's right. Folks, we haven't had a phone call yet this morning with a contribution, be the first. 208-935-0094.
