Now your talking[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I always think about getting back into the public field.

Now your talking[img][/img] I always think about getting back into the public field.

INjector wiring harness, theres a plastic part that wears out from heat cycling/time and comes apart.. It could be glued back together but its better to replace... They also replaced a valve cover gasket i think..

I'm having issues dealing with a new guy who's God's gift. He knows all. Is the best at doing whatever. And he found out I ride and wants to go to Pismo sometime (he's got 4 quads I guess.) Well, he can just hold his breath. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] When you're having to correct the drawings of someone who makes considerably more than you and who is supposed to be all that...it tends to wear on one. Especially pulling the hours I did this week when he left several hours earlier than I would each night.

I'm used to the way mu supervisor and I do projects. It's much more efficient with less down time for me waiting for engineering.

I thought I had read that there was a aftermarket replacement. Apparently I am wrong[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Which I can't imagine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Skinner, I am dealing with a co-worker right now like yours. Not a team player[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/devil.gif[/img]

Have you applied for that position?
