I feel bad for Jay and hope that he gets his boat back on the water soon. I would, however, rather see pictures of Lucy than pictures of Jays broken rocker arm anyday.

That really sucks, sorry Jay...
Nah,

it is just a rocker.........or 2

I was the one who lifted the valve cover up at the dock after we heard the knock, and it fell out in my hand, we removed the valve covers once we got it back to Jays house, and it didnt appear there was any other damage, and we got all of the big pieces out, but who knows where all the little pieces went. Right now, Jay has a lot going on with the house, work, and the Trans am, I dont have much time to deal with it as my dad is sick with cancer, and I travel to his house every other weekend, work graveyard shift, and race, and spend every other minute of my time trying to get my Pantera ready for the water. We will get to it eventually.

Its done but she is just sort of sitting around, Im finishing up my house and putting it up on the market in the next week or two, and trying to get my TA running, Got my engine back from Mesa Balancing and trying to get this monster ready to roll or at least fire it up, Laz made me one mother of a pontiac 7.7 liter fire breathing chickenstein heart for this 77 TA. Just have to finish dressing it up and im going to try to shovel it in to the car this weekend if time permits and it does not rain (have to roll the front end of the car out of the garage a few feet so the engine hoist can lift this 469 with the trans attached up high enough and it hits the garage door if I do it in the garage so I need some sun, been raining here for last few days now.)
Then I have to clean the garage up and get rid of my wave runner (if anyone is interested im practically giving this thing away-yamaha DP1200 with 31 hrs on it)
and then the realtor is going to come in and get this turkey up on the MLS for me.
