Again, probably. That's a different sort of busy/difficult. Now I don't know about breaking stuff inside the engine, but I know I will have to re-break-in the engine once it's running again. But going off of the internal condition of my engine, I doubt that's likely. I originally opened it up because I thought I blew the head gasket (because there was low compression in all four cylinders), only to find it in one piece (with insanely dirty cylinders ). So I ended up replacing that, along with my piston rings and connecting rod bearings because they were badly worn. Then after my assistant (i.e. mentor, who's a college student going into motorsports engineering) and I were putting the timing belt back on, we found that the crankshaft timing gear's keyway was ground out, and likely the cause of the problem. But my engine's still probably in better condition that it was. A one-hundred-and-twenty-pound robot made of aluminum and plexiglass that shoots balls and hangs plastic gears on pins. Have you heard of FRC? It's for that.

Well, we'll see how much breaks Thankfully, due to my friend I have a decent knowledge of engines and actually know what you are talking about Mostly The last time my friend tried to rebuild an engine he took a fairly decent engine, replaced some things and broke more stuff in the engine even worse May you fare better That sounds awesome, can you upload a pic easily? And no, I don't think I've heard of FRC

That we will. The big question is whether or not it runs when we get everything back together this weekend. Wow, this might be one of the few times that I've explained what's happened and the listener's actually understood. But you see, the difference between your friend's engine and mine is that his was in decent condition and (presumably) running. Mine, on the other hand, has over three hundred thousand miles on it and was not running at the time of disassembly. Not right now, but maybe later. Also, our robot's still in its second week, and is nowhere near finished, or even having anything similar to its final appearance. Google it, and you'll find everything you need to know. There's also a similar program for younger kids called FLL, which is the same kind of thing but with Legos (and I do believe Lego endorses/is involved with it).

But yes I did make it back before the 20th. Inauguration day. I see I should have knowen. Saying I live in a state that borders Mexico. That goes to show how much I pay attention to politics . I know I should pay more attention but I'm only 16 and I can't vote.

I know I should pay more attention but I'm only 16 and I can't vote. Pfft, can't vote. That's not an excuse! I can't vote either, but I still went to another state to campaign almost the whole week leading up to the election!

I didn't you where that young. I thought you where about my age 16. I thought that most people knew I was younger If you saw me IRL you would think I was 11 or 12 I never realy got to know you. You would think I was about 14 or so. Though we could never meet up saying we live on opposite sides of an ocean.
