haha sounds good actually

Mini engine tear down party. See how fast we can pull it out, apart, then put it together and have it going.

Pick a night.
Saturday night or Sunday is good for me.

My money says out, apart, back together and in and running in 4-1/2 hours

Apart from the dissy drive dropping in to the gearbox (A+ Engine) , it sounds like the inlet valve on cylinder 2 is jamed open, probably from light rust on the valve stem.

I was reading about a guy who managed to fish his dizzy drive out with a magnet on a stick, it took him a couple of hours and he got it to come out backwards. How much patience do you have?

When you want a hand, just yell, many hands/backs make light work.

If you guys need a hand, tools, parts, or a drunk fat hairy guy telling you you're doing it wrong when you're probably doing it right, Just let me know. I just did a two car engine swap in a day so my knuckles are already scuffed and the process is fresh in my mind

Just send me a PM.

Have beer, will travel.
