He has several funny videos out and I laugh every time I watch them. He can concoct some of the best words I have ever heard and it sounds believable.

He would make a good Service Manager in any shop.

I just have one question...how can you realistically couple a turbo encabulator to a sperving bearing without using an intermediate Johnson Rod?  It just doesn't make sense.

Its really not that hard, but a lot of folks try to use the old style sperving bearing, you need the new one with the Berilium insert in the rocker section of the inset heat rectrant.  Otherwise you are correct, you would need the intermediate johson rod as well as the lithium redactor.

Good catch, Todd.  I DO have the old style sperving bearing.  Will try to find the new style and will be offering a good, slightly used Johnson Rod here in the "for sale" section.

I have always relied on the long used muffler bearing to overlap and periferate any long term waffleating that occurs when I try to mate up the sperving bearing assembly. The johnson rod is always a last resort and generally causes a FUBAR.

I've never tried it but an old timer once told me that if you heat the Sperving bearing in an oven to 350' and stick your Johnson rod in the snow, you can avoid putting the whole assembly in a Matrix press.

If I'm not mistaken, that's because the sperving bearing is made from aluminum and stainless steel alloyed together.  That alloy when heated contracts, enabling the fitting of the precisely machined Johnson rod, which is made from kryptonite alloyed with ceramic kevlar.  Like water, the Johnson rod expands when cooled.

I always have the worst time replacing my hydro-coptic marzle veins.
