What's in a name? Part II

In a recent study from the UK, guess which name topped the list for "naughtiest girls names"?

Yep, "Ella" took the gold.  On the boys side, "William" scored the bronze medal.  I guess we make quite a pair ;-).

Ella to get a top-end rebuild

Ella's oil consumption has increased to burning about 1 quart every 400 miles.  Unfortunately the symptoms suggest valve guide wear as the culprit which means Ella needs a top-end rebuild.

After reviewing the excellent documentation available online and getting spousal approval, I have decided to tackle it myself.

Stay tuned for the adventures (and mishaps!).  First step: remove the engine.
