Totally clueless are you?? never said world or our vehicles are perfect...
said pettiness doesn't solve anything..
> How can you determine who is the minority here?
when same 12-15 people talk about the same 2-3 conversions day after day, it
gets a bit tedious...
how many people on the list are there? 450-600....

Mine did for 120k trouble free miles, gaskets failed second time because I
failed to replace ALL needed parts (didn't replace t'stat, it stuck closed)

Then start a list of unsatisfied owners who want to do conversions... I'm
tired of hearing about it. at least 1/2 the posts lately are: should we use this
engine or that... should we post to this list or start our own...
Don't like the way it works??? Go drive a Caravan...!

Not shunning anyone... tired of good info being interspersed with petty BS!

you're absolutely right... and I don't always...
My question was ( and still is) why does Tim feel the need to keep up his
really petty attitude...??
we ALL know he doesn't like Ron selling stuff or "USING" the list for
personal gain...
does he think he will convince the rest of us to shun three companies that
get us good deals??
I have asked Tim privately on more than one occasion, all he keeps saying "I
have no problem with Ron" and yet he continues with his petty snide remarks.
Tim is a very knowledgeable guy and quite free with his knowledge to
everyone's advantage... I just wish he would explain to me why he needs to make
uncharacteristically juvenile comments.
