Re: IML: 59 413 engine color

["Percy en Caroline" <percy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As much as I like nifty wrenching techniques, I hate worn ring gears. Most 
engines have a tendency to stop in the same position (revolution) iow the 
same teeth have the most wear. Perhaps it's a good idea to bump the starter 
a few times  before trying this aproach?

went to the dentist last week, no laughing matter.             Percy,
