Re: [Motor] I did something stupid - Water in the oil

[Cheapass Ron Pieper <rapieper@yahoo.com>]

I haven't met you yet, TBerk.  I was supposed to have
a beer for you at Cincy but you spent a night in jail
instead and hightailed it back home.  Now you fill yer
crankcase with water.  Should I look forward to our
meeting with trepidation?  Methinks so.

Mr. Meze said it best...I won't repeat it here.

Sigh.  My confidence wavers.
