Re: [DML] Re: TA Bolts...an end?

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxx>]

After I replace my TA bolts, Toby is setting me up with a 747 jet engine
to install in my Delorean. I'm expecting 0 to 60 even faster than the
Turbo DMC. Does anyone want to help? I'm not sure if I can lift the
entire engine by myself... many times. 

Anyways, does anyone think that there is a relationship between
manufacture time and TA bolt failure; ie, did different batches fare
better than others?
