Greg,
Wow..more problems...again? Just amazing what should be a simple fun project is turning into a find the big gun and go shoot something lol..Seriously, Iam sorry for all the crap this has been for you, its really a nightmare.
So what's next? If you find a half eaten Bologna sammich under the oil pan...don't worry its not mine! lol..
Hang in there buddy...hopefully you'll get some satisfying rolling time soon with it.
