    Our son's wife has Australian papers. Their government rejected their application to visit the States. Some of these videos showing their cops beating the #### out of protestors is pretty scary stuff.

    Wrong direction, brother.
    Had you come through DEL Rio, you'd be sitting fat right now.
    Well, welcome to North America anyway.
    Canadian people are very nice. You'll be fine

    Tear down?? Oooohhhhh! Nows your chance to show up and question what happens when it blows up down the road. Oh yeah, what about that thing that has to be baked clean every so often? Is anything shook loose from it going to cause Me problems?

    That and any other paint touch ups. Is the paint going to match. Might need a whole paint job. Smart to get anything that’s needed done now. Tear down? Tear down what? Top side? Bottom side? That’s a vague term, ranging from pulling the pan and valve cover, to visually inspecting rockers to pulling Cam and Rod/Main bearings. I’d ask them to please explain. The risk is causing a problem down the road, from inspecting it. Unlikely, but so many situations are.

    Rods and mains wouldn’t hurt. Probably not needed. Good idea to have them check it out. The question is, what would you get if totaled out? I’ve been given the choice on a Truck, and once on a car. Both times it worked in my favor. Prices being high right now. My Insurance says they’ll replace mine with Like Kind, if totaled based on current Market. Sometimes it’s better to keep what you have. No telling what you’ll get. Unless a big down payment on a new or newer one is the goal. Either way, hope it comes back better than before.
