Hi Ryan... well the belt didn't break - at least not 100% because it
still starts and runs but really really bad now. When I started it up
to get it off the dolly... I barely had enough power to get it down and
into the garage.

It started as a little vibration.. and then just kept getting worse and
worse until now the engine just clanks and shakes real bad. Anyway.. i
gotta get to work. Hopefully I'll be able to pull the head off this
weekend.

(sigh)
