Just cut the chain, you may have to replace it anyway.
Then deal with the pins on the bench. Fix the head gasket and put your diesel back together before you take the next one to bits. It doesn't work out having too many projects. Believe me, i am talking from experience.

Didn't see the post you must be asking about, but Doktor Google found this:
The Darkness - Dinner Lady Arms - YouTube Some of the other songs on the album seem apt. For example: "It seemed like a good idea at the time" Otherwise, less interestingly: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dinner+lady+arms

Indeed Graham got it - it is a reference to that song which is about getting old (among other things) - matronly upper arms might be the only thing left on the table for some of us!

Dinner Lady Arms:
Definition: Arms that have saggy flabby bits near the armpit, that droop when the arms are raised and bulge out when the arms are by one's sides. It tends only to be women who suffer from dinner lady arms. Example: Nice dress.....shame about the dinner lady arms

Re-threading the pin might be a possible solution but I think the corrosion is probably going to win. Quote:
So I'd rather take out the engine than pay the extra money!

Love the pictures of your driveway - classic. However, I think one car under one tarpaulin is enough for me. 'Cos of the divorce fiasco I'm probably going to have to move house so I need these cars to be mobile or in the crusher...
