Dummied up instead of uttering his epitaph, "Read my lips, no new taxes."

I was furious when GHW Bush broke his word. Every fund raiser paperwork I came accross I would send in with the biggest scrawled block letters that would fit on the sheet "Read my lips, Go To Hell."

I was truly angry.

I can swim... as long as I have a mask and snorkel.

My luck I'd find some undocumented ground somewhere to throw myself at.
*LOL!*

Well, it came apart smoothly, and went back together smoothly...
Something is wrong.

It went pretty smoothly.
Only froze for abotu twohours as we debated what to do about the catalytic converter and the downpipe.
Didn't grab those two pieces, and they need replacing as well, which we didn't know about.
But.. that's future project as it's not all THAT bad yet.

Don't you just hate that? I'd rather have gotten it all done at once.

Yup.
The flange on the cat convert and the downpipe has trhee bolts, and a ring gasket squished between the two.
Well, since the muffler and pre-muffler were dangling in the breeze, the flange union kinda got messed up.
UGH.
I hate stuff like that happening.
BUT, such is life.

And no parts leftover? I'd be concerned.

Well, one part left over.
The new parts that go with the exhaust system match up until the end of the catalytic converter and the beginning of the straight pipe.
In the original, they were both flat end pipes that had a sleeve slipped over both and clamped.
In the new replacement parts, the whole system up to the cat convert has slit end pipes, no sleeve.

Well, one part left over.

OK then it should work. :-)

The part left over was to replace one that I need to keep for now.
:-/

So it's kinda frustrating.
Normally I have three or four parts left over.
