I just checked, he is in Lubbock, about 6 hours away. I haven't heard of him before... Fortunately, I have one of the larger suppliers of LS engines who just moved from Lubbock to Georgetown, just north of Austin, in Texas Speed. I went to visit them on Friday and am discussing plans for my repair or replacement with them. Nice to have a local shop to work with!

We checked the exhaust as we removed it, and there are no leaks. I think I have another failing O2 sensor for some reason. More on this in another post in a minute...
