Re: Stuff at the Shop
Glad the propane worked! Hope he has a great running engine after all the trials and tribulations! (I can sort of relate to that! )

Re: Don from Canton's Engine Rebuild Saga

Re: Mark Firment
I don't make it to many LEAKOIL events being down here in the hinterlands of Canton, but I always enjoyed talking to Mark when I did. Grace and peace to Gail and family.

Don from Canton's Engine Rebuild Saga
It’s been over two years since I embarked on my engine rebuild journey, and it’s still not at an end. I figured I’d share a summary of the joys and sorrows to-date. (’78 Westfalia, 2.0L Type IV, hydraulic lifters, L-Jet fuel injection) In October 2019, shortly after the Cleveland Oktoberfest, I lear...
