    Gary Sharpe rebuilt my motor as I wrote in another post. After two weeks of driving I developed a small oil leak coming from under the front timing cover. My mechanic thought it was a cam seal. and the engine would have to be pulled. Talked to Gary about it and he come out to Wisonisn from Indiana, a 6-7 hour one way drive to fix it. Turned out to be oil leaking around one of the bolts that hold the cam seal on. Gary spent a day fixing it without having to pull the engine, although he was willing to do it if necessary. He used my friends shop, Collector's s Choice to do the work. Thanks Gary for standing behind your work. By the way, engine is fantastic. Hugh difference in power and torque and smoothness. I had thought of changing to a 360 or even 430 some day but not now. If you guys are planing on keeping your cars and you need engine service, Gary's the guy.

    Amen on Gary! When the top-end of my 348 needed some 'love', Gary was the only logical choice for valves, guides, seals, etc. Dealing with S&R (whether its the "S" or "R" side of the equation) is always a pleasure.

    Thanks to everybody for the nice words.
    And yes, Oz, a nice a$$ is just as important as a nice pair of boobies!!!

    Thanks to Cory at Collectors Choice for giving me the room/tools I needed to fix the situation.
    And thanks to F355Bob for having me rebuild his engine to start. I can tell by his mods/upgrades and condition of his car he is a true enthusiast.
