That rotisserie is nice. Jealous of people who have them. I’ve got to replace the entire rear of my car so a rotisserie is not in the cards. Have fun upgrading the shop. Looks like you have some good space to work in.

Got to get everything moved away from the car on the rotisserie to get back on it but am getting the L20b ready to be assembled that will be going in it.

Had to get the piston rods or wrist pins to loosen up over the years I had sprayed Marvel Mystery Oil on them to keep them from any rust developing. Two where very tight or stiff so I sprayed some Marvel Mystery Oil on them all over a few weekends and they loosened up fine the old oil I sprayed on them had dried or jelled up and now they are smooth as silk. Next to put the rings on them and install.

Found the front cover for the L20B and probably most if not all the bolts to the front cover, the chain guide's, oil pan. Still more to locate. Got to figure just clean the cover up or get it shined all up. Found the new chain guide's and tensioner, timing chain with cam and crank sprocket's and oil pump as well as the gear thing that runs the oil pump and distributor. Now if I can just win the Powerball tonight I'll go buy those two two-door Sedans for sale south of here in Mandeville and Ocean Springs.

Thanks I'm slowly trying to get there, I retire next year so I'll have a lot more time to get things done.
