John, I'm an absolute Wasser Boxer dummy. I changed the oil and adjusted the valves on one ........... that is it, no other experience. I drove a 87 Syncro about 30 miles on a test drive, wasn't that impressed. I like the idea of somebody just driving up and dropping an engine in free of charge though. The last time I got something for nothing with free delivery was back in the mid 60s ........... it was a sucker punch from some guy that I didn't even know, had never seen before and had never spoken to. Oh! Buy the way, I got thrown in jail in Macon Georgia back in 1960 for speeding (Navy guy then). We negotiated with the judge and left with only paying about a $28.00 fine. He didn't bother about supplying a receipt. Stan Wilder
