By the way, my next-to-last post contained proof that I'm getting a handle on my OCD-Lite. There was a time when I would have spent hours carefully cutting out the seal with an X-Acto instead of scissors, and I would have made sure that the marking lines for the cutout were straightedge-perfect. These days I'm deliberately freehanding, and that's an example. I've found that in general it's more fun and doesn't take nearly as much time. (Time, as it dawns on everyone sooner or later, is the most precious commodity of all.) Nevertheless, the notch itself will be as machinelike perfect as I can make it. Because as long as I'm performing the sacrilege of defacing the crankcase, the least I can do is make it look like it belongs there.
