One of the things I suppose one must keep in mind is that although two things seem similar. There is a good chance they are barely if at all the same thing. I have no idea how many vehicles I have removed the hood on and pulled and then replaced the engines. So looking at the engine in Mary Lee, I had decided that an engine is just an engine. I suppose the disconnecting everything while on my hands and knees while laying on top of it could have been a clue. Even then I was ok with that. I discovered that not only did it have a broken engine mount but 3 of the 4 mounts were not even hand tight. I discovered several other things that were potential problems. If I had headed south with this last fall I surely would have been doing engine work someplace.     (  I am getting serious now )

Wait a minute. That looks like the plumbing job from last year. Only a couple things left to unhook and I drop ratchet in bilge. It turns out that sucker has a layer of slimey oily type gook in it. I know it looked bad last year but I was wanting to put off dealing with it. Now is the time.

At this point it is about 1:30 am. I had no idea what was coming.  There is more but it will have to wait. I seem unable to download anymore pictures at this point.
