Then, there's room to crawl under it.              In city ghettos, poor folks used to drive one side of the car over       the curb, thus elevating the side you need to access. I (and my       uncle) completely overhauled a 1957 plymouth using this technique.       The lot was steeply sloping and that helped too. We replaced crank       and rod bearings, pistons, rings, seals, etc. But, we did the valve       job in the gravel driveway since it could be done from the top.              Naturally, these are only options if the car is still in somewhat       running condition, or you have lots of neighbors to push the       clunker into position.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
