I would like to bring it to everyone's attention regarding AV8TOR here on the forum. I have been doing business with Robert for a few years now and I just had a custom Homelite engine modded by him. The quality of the work and the attention to detail is extraordinary. This engine and all the previous engines have quality workmanship and all run excellent. Communications are clear and concise and Robert keeps one updated on the progress. On this particular engine I had done, I asked Robert to Document the process for me so I can learn to do these mods myself.

I received an e-mail recently that had a document attached and I was blown away with the information and pic's, procedures etc. This certainly was a a time consuming and tedious process for him to complete. Everything in the text was clear and easy to understand. I personally want to thank Robert for his time and delivering another quality engine to me. Perhaps Robert could do a DVD for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks,
-Gary

Hey, thanks for the kudos Gary, and I am very pleased that you are happy with my work. I do take pride in my work.

Sorry I've been out of contact for a few days. Had a heart attack the day before Halloween. It was a mild one, but I spent a day in the emergency room in Mexico, then had to be transported to Tucson, Az. for surgery. They did surgery to install stents in two arteries that were 90% blocked. I'm ok and out of the hospital now. Probably be back home in Mexico in a week or so after a post op follow up check out.

Thanks Captain.

Re; your RCU problem, this happened once before. I think it is another person named Captain John. Your RCU name is Cap'n John, not "Captain" right?

It is great to learn that you received prompt attention to such a vital problem.

Do you feel any difference with your enhanced pump?

Hope for a full recovery.

Thanks guys. I feel pretty good really. I'm recovering here at my brother's place in Tucson. I have a follow up appointment with the cardiologist on Friday, and I expect to go home to Mexico after that. We'll see after whatever recovery time he specifies if I have a higher energy level, but I suspect I will. I'd been feeling pretty badly before. Plus, my sister had a couple of stents put in like me, and it made her feel and act 15 years younger! Hope it works as well for me. Heck, I'm only 58. I guess I got lucky how this all came down though, because my father died of a heart attack at 62. My brother and I always figured we'd only make it to 62 as well. Maybe with the medical intervention I just got, I'll make it longer.....

Interesting; the cardiologist here in the hospital in Tucson, Az. said the Mexican doctors in the emergency room/hospital in Mexico, (where I actually had the attack), had the treatment and diagnosis right on.

Thanks again,
AV8TOR

Thanks. I had my visit with the cardiologist on Friday, and then today with my primary care doctor. All is looking good. I'm supposed to take it easy for 3 or 4 weeks... that will probably be the tough part!! Anyway, the prognosis is very good according to the doctors, so I'll be here for a while I hope!

Thanks again everyone,
AV8TOR
