Landry's Timing...

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

     John,
     
        Any idea why a perfectly running truck (for a year or so) 
     would suddenly back fire, and continue to run reasonable for 15 
     minutes, then backfire again, and 15 min later take a crap?  I 
     have the gears.  I have the pieces you speak of, I have the 
     technology, I can rebuild it. $6 Million.  No, anyway, really the 
     teeth are shaved completely off one half of the gear.  I just 
     know that the truck backfired three times.  Once on the on-ramp, 
     once 15 min later, and once at The Event.  End of story.  Bad 
     gears.  Repl gears, and been running ok for a month now.  Now 
     since I didn't knock on wood, my truck will catch fire and burn 
     to the ground before I make it home.  Thanks, John.
     
        Oh about Mech. Priciples and such.  EVERYONE ANYWHERE says 
     that you will NEVER have problems with geared timing.  LIES.  
     I'll bring the gears to Tulare.  You will be amazed and astounded 
     to see what is left.
