| I felt the need to respond yesterday to your "ATTENTION" post for two reasons: First, I wanted to make sure the OP was aware of the things that CAN go wrong or be encountered with an engine swap, and that he didn't believe it was always a simple matter of disconnect -> pull -> drop -> reconnect. I could be wrong, but I suspect he doesn’t really know what’s involved, so I took the opportunity to give him a little insight. I KNOW it can be done in a matter of hours, if everything is good. We did that with my own motor in about 5 or 6 hours one day. But that was because the car was fresh from full surgery and everything had already been attended to; it was only a tweaked oil line that needed replacing. So I know how it CAN go. But secondly, I realize, I was responding to your tone. I believe many of the surly and argumentative responses you get on here are also made in reaction to your challenging, antagonistic attitude. You don’t just make factual points or present a straight opinion; you feel the need to needle and insult people in the process. Clearly you get something out of a fight. I don’t know why you feel you have something to prove on a forum. Prove yourself with your actions and interactions, not with challenging words. And by the way, Bernie’s got nothing to hide or defend time-wise, so insinuating that he’s arguing his points to cover for time charged is pointless. He charges by the project, however long or short it takes. That's all.
You don't have to live in a bubble just because someone else caught the flu. Make your decision on your ability to trust yourself. - NytWolf 15:49:05 12/17/06
I was previously a aviation mechanic and avionic technician and this car is harder to work on than Aircraft. - Hocuz77 03:04:56 02/28/06 |
