Ever since I got Sydney back, I've been wanting to put the clear engine cover on. Trouble is, with the move, I can't find the mounting pins. I know where the cover itself is, but can't locate the pins. I know they made the move as they rolled around in the trunk of my moving vehicle for about a wk. But I finally took them out and placed them somewhere and now I can't find them. I've probably spend at least 2 full hrs looking. Generally I can remember what box has stuff in it and remember where the box is in the basement. But this wasn't in a box, I put them somewhere. My next thing is to look where my 1st inclination to put them. That's generally worked. But not for those stinking pins. Dog gone it!

Then 2 days ago I found them. I'd put them in an upstairs room of stuff that we didn't sell for my mom's estate sale (I'm moving into her house). I guess my thought process was I'd be moving items out of that room not long after I moved there. Well it was 10 days, so I guess that was close. Anyway, the pins are found and now I can show off my $28K engine.

That's really a nice view, but how loud is it?

Obviously a tad louder in the cabin with the foam and carpet removed, but certainly not intrusive. The new engine actually sounds better. The orig had a whooshing sound in the 2500-3500 rpm range that you could hear quite clearly with the clear cover on. That whoosh is gone, replaced with sweet revving sounds now.
