You could say that...Have you ever heard of The Twelve Days of Christmas?

I also got the Crower Crank back from being polished. However, It still needs to be machined for the additional keyway. The Manley Rods are getting resized and new bushings. The JE Blower Pistons look good but Jim Lange had three left over from Gregs rebuild so he is sending those out to me this week. Hopefully, everything will go to the balancer by the end of this week.

I spoke with Eric at TBS to find out some information about the blower and he asked me to measure the case and it was 17" long. He said that 8-71 Blower Cases are 16" long while 10-71 Blower Cases are 17" long. So the Blower is a 10-71 not an 8-71 that we originally thought it was. He also looked up the serial number and said it was built in March of 2001 and was in for service in Feb. of 2010.

Cool thread to follow

Few years ago I met Greg and my son Ryan was eyeing his boat. I went up and introduced myself. Greg was such a sweetie and said do you want to go for a ride? I got the can I go Mom look LOL. Greg said you want to come too? I said sure.. Ry go grab your vest. When we got in the boat Ry asked me you think we are gonna go fast? LOL. I'm pretty sure we are sweetie. Did a quick hot lap up to Echo and back.

What's up Jamie!

Too bad you didn't have your camera out when Mini Kat towed us past your place during the tube float.
