What, you don't like cooling off and drinking a brew?!

Probably the best drain pan for a Dll. Just slide it under the front and start pulling hoses. Actually, l had no mess at all on the floor...until...l got the engine out. I'd pushed the rover back and was letting the engine down and forgot the pool....engine tipped on its side and the mess you see below the pool happen. I just bend the pool in a V and pour the remains into a big bucket.

CollieRover, no real plans at the moment, any option is on the table. For the moment, just going to disassemble this engine and see what happened internally. And l've got another option in progress...but that would mean buying another one and swapping out engines. Which is fine, just waiting for the guy to call me back. The last option is very enticing, since this would mean l'd have peanuts in this thing and my wife really doesn't go anywhere...she's put 5K on her rover in two years (and probably 1K of that was me driving it). I've put 28K on my $500 wonder in the same amount of time.

OK, I think you have to color me jealous once again. Did I see an overhead crane/hoist in your garage? We just passed on a house that had a barn big enough for our 36' Class A and I could put in a lift for the cars. But we decided not to be house poor so I'll just have to look longingly at folks like you and dream of when we get our forever home...

Well done on the work with the machine. I also wish I had the time to play like you are. Alas, I only the time to keep the Disco going...
