    Busy shop, PITA engine to get parts for. Would I have liked it sooner, yes, but I'm willing to wait for it to get done right, which is from all I've been told and heard what Matt does. I wish I had it for the summer but life goes on and I've got a car and a motorcycle to get around on.

      Toss the other motor in until Matt is done. That way you get to drive a rover and when Matt is done, you get to DRIVE A ROVER.

                Well the truck is back on the road, running good. The replacement engine didn't have the front pulley with the starting dog so I started to take it off the old engine. In the process I think I found what caused the crank bearing problems. The flywheel was loose. A few bolts were starting to back out and all of them could be removed with just my fingers.
                I wrote to the PO I bought this truck from but got no response. Makes you wonder.
