Mom's car, but I won't let her drive it!

Thanks man,

yep it popped right in, 3 medium hits. I had it in freezer for a week.

I underestimated how long it would take to get the 'new' engine cleaned up and resealed, adjusted, etc.

All is going fine, but I know I will eat up another weekend on this thing.

I spent like 6hrs fighting the clutch bleed, I installed that other master and it seems fine. Pain in ze butt RnR'n those.

Hard to find the time to work on my junk: kids, kitchen reno, 12hr work days this week, and to top it all off Wife hit a dear in her car (and we just took collision off it 6 wks ago)
Time for a family vaca soon, losing my marbles.

I am expecting the worst in terms of vibrations, but hoping for the best.
