I was told recently that english was an "evolving" language and that in the interests of this evolution we should accept and go with minor grammatical infractions.....hmmmm!

Maybe - but "from who" sounds just plain wrong. "From whom" is much more pleasing to the ear.

I ALWAYS replace the tensioner, idler, crank seal and sometimnes even the bottom gear if it hasn't been upgraded, is the tin shield variety, or it has a seal groove worn in it. The kit also comes with a new idler stud, a locknut and new cap screw for the tensioner.

That price for the kit is very good, if you were to buy all the bits seperately it would be a whole lot more...

Not worth the risk.

Its a reco motor and had the tensioner upgrade done when rebuilt. If i haven't done it by March, i'll book it in when Matt and I (and family) come over to Tassie for a break

Of course (to whichever part of your sentence that you prefer!)

Well since you cant hear it, that comment is null and void, bored again are we Ron ?

He must be if he's reading every post out loud.

Look at the time it was posted.

I was on an 11pm-7am shift.

But not for much longer. I have decided to retire - after I take my 4-1/2 months long service leave. I put the leave application in today. As soon as I get the travel voucher, I'll book our berths on the Indian Pacific so we can go and annoy some Sandgropers.
