Popgun, I owe you one. Please send an address to which I can ship a new can of Brasso and a cotton diaper so that it may be lovingly polished with my gratitude.
A shipment I needed for a work project was delayed, so, admittedly I slacked off and spent much of the day studying the curved inner casting of the lower cylinder block from online photos, and imagined the path of travel the dowel would have taken. When I got home from work, I bent a coat hangar to that curve and slid it inside my home made fuel hose magnet tool.
Fifteen minutes of uninterrupted fishing (my wife is stuck in traffic coming home tonight) and I heard the magic click, and up she came.
I danced around listening to Handel’s Messiah which is still playing in my head to this moment. Then, I wiped all of my oily prints off of the machine, covered her and plugged in the tender to await shims and seals. She sleeps, perchance to dream of looser exhaust valves.
The weight of a thousand nightmares of engine disassembly are lifted. I reach for a very special bottle, and my lovely wife will just have to deal with whatever condition with which it renders me
