Attention Team Chaos!
Team Chaos members, get out your capes and masks! Mad Hatter's dad needs our help! We should meet at our secret meeting place, the American Legion, to work out our strategy.

He had big-block on toast this weekend.Mad Hatter, Team Chaos has been rather creative in getting engines-drives-transmissions running again, especially to finish up the season. Beer, pop, and orange slices are mandatory though.

Dave & Barb,
Sorry we missed you at this years Customer Appreciate Festival at GLM. We had a prior commitment and didn't make it out until Sunday p.m.
Got the rebuilt engine in Friday, and it runs great. # 3 piston had "Loose pieces" in between the first and second ring, and the second and oil ring. Combustion was blowing right by into the crankcase.
Bored the engine 20 over, new pistons, rings, bearings, heads (magnafluxed the old ones; spider web city), etc.
Still hoping to see the boat. I like Tom's upgrade, from 28 to 42!

Hmm, may dad isn't the type of guy to do anything halfa$$. (no offense guys!) We're starting the teardown tonight, either at his barn or at motion marine.
I've seen a running enigine fall off it blocks and flop around like a fish, and I'm broke. Am I part of the team?

M.H., you are now. No, we don't do anything that's shady or half-baked. If it's broke it gets fixed right or not at all. it's just that between the bunch of us we've got some pretty good resources in machine work, parts suppliers, and brainpower, not to mention being able to turn wrenches.
