I'm blushing! seriously, if I were a master mechanic I'd post a lot
less as I'd just know exactly what to do and do it :)
I am a bit proud of myself after firing that engine I bought from JP
yesterday though; I helped him put it together from a box of parts and
rebuilt all the accessories (fuel pump, carb, etc.) myself, so I've
seen pretty much every working bit of the engine. OK, I'll stop
patting myself on the back now.

When do you become a "master mechanic" ? Even though the R1 we
rebuilt was probably one of a dozen I've built, I worry over each one,
wondering if I screwed up something. How many Studebaker master
mechanics are around that could do a better job than "amateur" N8 at
this point ?
I'm becoming convinced that the average NG'er with some basic skills
can do as least as good a job as the $75/hour pros.

The "master" status arrives upon the completion of the baiter apprenticeship...
