Hey, Barry...

<snip> Damn, Bob, you must beat on Daksy pretty hard, I have 112k on my '99
and
I haven't broken nearly that much stuff... I had asked about timing
 chains earlier, and this is Bill's response:

Well, I useta put her thru the paces - specially when a little ricer truck
sat next to me at a light goin "FART-FART"
while the DAKSY was goin "VROOM-VROOM"...I just love spinnin the 32s!
But After she hit about 80K, I toned it down a little...She IS my daily
driver - at least in the winter time, & with a 22 mile ride to work, I gotta
get there...So I don't push her too hard anymore UNLESS I really hafta! 8-)

<snip> I just had an Idea, maybe the Timing Chain would be a perfect time to
re-assemble with a Viper Fan...<snip>

Now THAT'S a thought!
