Replacement stuff.

I priced the parts needed to re build the crashed engine and they totaled more than half the price of a new engine. And that don't count the crankshaft. It may be slightly bent, I can't tell without special tooling. Fox has a trade in policy where you send them an engine and take your pick of any glow engine for half price. This way I have an almost new piston and cylinder and rod asm., crankshaft?, head and venturi as spares. I called the painter and cautioned him about one of the a/c hoses that runs inside the right fender. It's captured by the fender and the wheel well. If they removed the fender with the wheel well attached they may damage the hose. I also mentioned the seat and he will have it upholstered. So far so good.
