A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

(it's not exactly this engine cause it's already 4 years old and they changed some parts since then...)

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
