Randy, You don't need a firesuit. Your criticism is valid. That's why I stayed with engine questions. I missed the intake point and the wall. I simply didn't see it. But I did ask for the head I.D., for that would clear up everything.
There is one final item. The seller did have an inappropriate payment method listed at the bottom of the ad. EBay themselves state to never do a wire transfer. Seller's payment instructions BY CREDIT CARD, OR WIRE TRANSFER WITHIN 12 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE. MUST BE WIRE TRANSFERRED BEFORE ITEM CAN BE SHIPPED.
