Superior IO-360 Engine Delivery

Yeah, I know, it's just another delivery in what the neighbors will think is an endless stream of deliveries.  But this one is different.  This one represents a new phase of the construction process, a very expensive phase.  Whenever I see one of those great little sports cars go by and I give it one of those long looks, my wife simply says..."Yours is in that box in the garage."  Just one more step but a big one.
	It was a good thing that I had a wheeled cart I could use since the driver didn't have anything to use for moving the box.
	I couldn't wait, I had to see what I had paid so much money for.  I am still a way from being ready to fire it up but it's good to have it ready for starting the installation.
	This is just one of a set of manuals that came with the engine.  The FADEC system alone will take some reading to get up to speed.  Guess I now have something for those cold winter nights.  (? In Houston?) Turns out I should have waited to open the engine up since it was 16 years before I was at the point of starting the engine.  By then it needed to be torn down, inspected, cleaned of preservation oil, and rebuilt with new seals.  NO RUST despite the long time in storage. OH, and I had to remove the FADEC system.

Much more to come...
