gearhead you and i are saying the samething. you just take longer and say it better. now i have been working on these motors since i was in high school and have never seen a fire or seen a car that had a fire in a junkyard.
now if the oil filter is so much a danger. maybe we better take the carb and fuel line off and plug them because they set right over top of the exhaust and that is a fire waiting to happen.
