That must have been a huge disappointment after all your work, but we pick up and move on.
My biggest fear is that I’ll find out about something I mis-adjusted during my engine rebuild. I’ve taken it back apart to re-do my work, and I’m not sure that I won’t be re-doing my rework. For me, it’s all part of the process, and we can learn as much from our failures as from the wins.
Thanks for posting all of this Kevin. I am constantly picking up good ideas from you. I love the picture of Jerry’s instructions taped to the firewall.
