DOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. So we're going to take this engine to a machine shop and have them sleeve that broken bore. So we need to strip everything off the motor that isn't motor. So Dan is pulling off the motor mounts right now. They have rubber parts in them and you always want to inspect the motor mount carefully. It has a rubber sleeve around it to isolate the vibration of the engine from the frame of the car. These were relatively new when we installed the motor not too long ago. So they're in fine shape now.
