[SEL] Piston Rings and old engines.

[Elden DuRand]

Arnie:

I SAW that.  And, I know that Curt was up the creek unless he did it himself.  

Although I'd like to have an engine that takes nice big rings, that ain't a-gonna happen so I don't think I'll need to make any rings 'cause the sizes I use are easily obtainable.

Take care - Elden
