The camaro you guys are talking about isn't the orange one is it? He could barely get a burn out done yesterday. Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!

They took off the covers & found the broken rocker. Took off the intake & to check everything else & found the bad lifter. Now... I heard someone say that they kept trying to button it back up, but kept finding things, like the lobe of the broken lifter/ rocker was buggered. @ 22 minutes till the party shut down, he was putting the intake back on. So, it seems that he may have ran it as it was w/ a new lifter & rocker. It looked like he was doing a shake down pass to see if everything held up, and thought he had enough time to do a full one. When he got back to the water, they popped the hood to adjust something, and ran out of time. 1968 Plymouth Fury III 4-Door: 12.79 @ 115, 60'- 1.93 (Hey... it's a Cruise ship... what do you expect?!)
