[s-cars] Bypass Valves and Pressure Losses (Uh, Pizzo??)

[Lewis, Gary M]

I'm having a F'n morning...

Godda#it, now I gotta go home at lunch, look at the F'n directions, look at the F'n valve, and write another F'n email.

I'll report back with either a) stupidity (I wrote the wrong thing) or b) stupidity (I installed the damn thing incorrectly), or c) I put a hit out on you for making me drive all the way home.

Off topic, I was gonna drive home anyway, as I forgot the F'n caliper brackets in the F'n garage this morning, and I have some lift time scheduled.  I also have some nice Primitivo (Eyetalian Zinfandel, a close cousin) grapes fermenting that should have tha cap punched down.  Nice, 28 brix, perfect p.H., a Tuscan wet dream.  Delish.  And the wagon can hold ~500lbs of grapes easy.  Fastest agricultural vehicle in the world...

Bitc# bitc# bitc#...

Thanks Joe,

Gary Lewis
