Jon,

A question about your stone and rock walls---the stone part at the bottom appears to be about half the height of the ones I have.If so ,how did you cut them?I have the opposite problem---need to make them higher.I plan to cut sections to add at the bottom.

Roger, I bought them from Scenic express. The walls are made of some type of hard foam. I turned them over and cut them in half using a sheetrock knife. I can get you the product number of the walls if you need them.

Mitch, a friend of mine has a 1998 Dodge truck with a 5.9 liter engine. The vehicle has only 63,000 miles, but the engine is continually fouling the number 7 and 8 plugs. They are telling him he needs a new engine (5,300.00). The truck was driven very gently at a college until my friend bought it. He's loaded it to capacity, etc. in his landscaping business. Any thoughts?

Should've stated that the plugs are oil soaked.

I wanta take some rube guesses before the expert jumps in...

If it's fouled with oil, gotta be rings or valve guides.
Is it EFI? Can two injectors overload with fuel?
Mismatched plugs? Those two getting good spark?
Any smoke, and if so, the color?

"A new engine" seems premature.
But then you know :arrow: mechanics and problems with prematur... uh...never mind. :wink: :D

I figure ol' DB has had a great time or has been dead for a long time.

But he still makes the news.Just like Jack-the-Ripper.
