Not really. They struggled with the piston kits but seem to have that all lined up now. So we hope they will kick into high gear soon and get it done. I have been out there picking away on little inside projects like backup camera etc. it has give me a new appreciation for the frantic pace a big garage like that. I am bonding with all the mechanics and listing to more country music than I have my entire life. Hey do you know what you get when you play a country song backwards?

You get your dog back, your girlfriend back, your pickup back etc

Here is my engine update. The engine is in as you can see. They were fine tuning today when they said it stalled a couple of times starving for fuel. The put it onto another fuel source and it ran like a champ. So once they get that sorted out then we have a few more little things and we should be good to go. The mechanic is now wondering if it was starved for fuel this whole time and that is why the engine ate itself up.

They completed the engine today and it runs absolutely great. I am now out of town for a couple of days but will take some pics this weekend before it goes into storage for the winter and post them.
