Going to pick up my new engine next weekend. Thought I would take the oppotunity to do other stuff at the same time. So these and other bits are off to be sandblasted and powder coated.

5ltr bottom end rebuilt and put into storage.

Are you Polybushing Barrie?

[LongBaz463BHP]

Can't make my mind up on that Peter.

[phazed]

Much easier for you to fit, piece of cake really.

Who's going to remove the old bushes?

[LongBaz463BHP]

You're probably right re the bushes. I will take out the old bushes myself with aid of big 10 ton press.. and maybe a hacksaw.

Read this out to she to whom I am related by marriage.
Crossed her legs, glared at me and said "NO WAY!"

Does Barrie need Polybushing? Does it hurt?

Sorry guys.
We have an unwritten rule on PH that we are all equal in the eyes of the great god Petrolhead, and we don't criticise errors of spelling or grammar.
Good rule.

It's just that sometimes these errors are funny, and I think then we can have a bit of fun without being malicious.
So when I saw the post "Are you Polybushing Barrie", with no comma between "Polybushing" and "Barrie", it gave the phrase an unintended meaning, and I couldn't help myself but have a laugh.

Reminded me of the well known example of changing the meaning by punctuation:

"What is this thing called love?" makes you think of a love-lorn poet in Jane Austen's day, whereas
"What is this thing called, Love?" has one more thinking of Alun's new French girlfriend trying to learn anatomical English

[phazed]

Mentally I correct punctuation and spelling, especially "tires" from our younger PHers!

Is there a self help group? If so, I'm signing up

Ah yes , right this replaces all the fuse board and relays into this package, it won't do anything for performance

You them programme the unit to be able to switch fans , pump etc via the can bus from the ecu, no more fuel pump relays, simplifies the car wiring
