>Chris is there now, just texted me regarding that finding.
Text back to him that we feel his pain!
Having to strip the engine at this point must be a very annoying setback - but still much better than discovering a coolant leak during a night cross country. At least you know how to do it yourself. I had to put my engine in the trunck and drive it to NC. :)
Don't give up hope.
