If by doing this you mean is tlp going to watch me do the rod bearings in his car, then yes, tlp is doing this too. I was well compensated for agreeing to do his and Kyle's bearings. December is the window for that.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback.

I also see you tired of waiting for me to do the DIY! Hehe. This year it'll happen!
