[SEL] Stuck Piston Rings

[Jim French]

Hi Ed

A word of advice from one on the same team as your wife (last time I 
went to a movie I came home to find an R&V on the kitchen table, being 
pinstriped) - beware of the SMELL when cooking engine parts.  It might 
give you away!  Again, I'm speaking from experience here, when the head 
from a Petter Atomic had some overnight heat treatment in my Aga 
cooker.  It was some days before the smell and taint went.
So just bear in mind that your idea of "fun" might not be quite the same 
as Mrs Stoller's.
Hope this helps,
Dolly
