Funny Post!

Where's the loose nut behind the wheel? And the silver flat thing that goes on top of the holes?

Holy Crap! I went out and checked my engine and at first I thought mine was mounted backwards. But, when I came around and look at it from the drivers side the picture started to make more sense.

Gees, no wonder I'm not running 12s...mine doesn't have that important "plastic box".

Documentation is so thorough that it must be a "government" document.

label correction needed?

I took the part labeled "engine" to the rebuild shop. They said I could just buy a new one for $50. They said they don't rebuild them. They said it's called a "valve cover" or something like that.
And why were all those guys laughing so much?
Anybody know anything about this issue?
Well anyway, it's a big relief to know I can get a new engine for $50.
