Just got home from NYC and ran to the garage to do the triage on Hammie.
As I got near the front I knew it was going to be worse than I feared, oil on
the ground, oil on the grill, oil on the hood. My wife had made it sound better
than it is.
The hose that connected the two oil cooler hoses gave up the ghost, split right
in half actually. Apparently I had treated it too roughly last weekend in my
abortive oil cooler replacement. Worse the replacement oil cooler has arrived,
its on my kitchen table...
Engine is tight, I put a wrench on the PS belt and can spin the belt right
around the main pulley, hit the key and the starter clunks but nothing else. I
didn't want to do more and get greasy with the clothes I have on.
He was a good friend for 7 years but this is it, off to that great highway in
the sky.
On a positive note the registration for the Red 190D arrived so I'm off to the
registry.
