If the head gasket, bolts, new injector etc had been ordered Friday from local factors . . . head off saturday morning . . . abuse with punched, chisels, hammers, blowtorches, extractors etc saturday afternoon, into sunday . . . pick up gaskets monday lunchtime . . . drop head off for skim . . . if lucky like my local, hang around while done . . . head back on by Monday evening . . . celebratory blast around block this morning . . . ?
Or am I lucky to drive a Lancia, or a Dodge, where parts arrive within 24hrs?
(well, okay, 72 hrs from Arizona in the case of the Dodge)
I learnt a long time ago, the chances of a bigger cock-up (and therefore more unnecessary expense and wasted time - something I'm allergic to) when trying short cuts, bodge jobs etc tend to get quite high . . .
