Looks pretty dam good mate!
Can't help you on the avatar word!

So how you go with the engine?
That is if you done it yet!

Well the box is out & motor is off the mounts and everything off eg manifolds, Alt etc. So in other words its ready for the big gut busting heave ho any takers for a hand

Mate I would offer but I could break a nail! lol!
You do sound like you are dreading it but trust me it's just an A12!

Yeah your right Im not looking forward to it but Im worring about nothing etc. I cant beleave how small the gear box is on these things , its like a bike box. They are baby compard to Turbo 400's.

If turbo 400's are what you are used to messing with I now understand why you maybe think we were joking about about lifting everything out!

Your firefighting vehicle avatar is cool!

You've inspired me to look up the word.Quote:This is apparently derived from older usage of the word: "manifestation of an idea or concept"

reference: Encarta World English Dictionary

Thanks for the info, but Im still not sure how to prenounce it ??

Ive mainly had Holden Commodore's for cars , so Im used to playing with V8 everything etc. My main car is a 94 VR SS Commodore. I would post a scan of it if I could work it out etc. but some of the guys might not like it much seeing it but then again someone posted old Falcon on here !!!

Regards & Thanks

I think it's pronounced "avatar." Oh, wait. That probably didn't help. I say it like it rhymes with "have a car" but then I don't have an accent, since I was born and raised in Texas! LOL
