Due to a family emergency I'll be headed back to Albuquerque in the morning.

Yesterday we finished up the RMS job on my wagon and it fired right up and is running like a dream.
So if you ever get the chance to host the Spinners and work with Robert, don't miss it! They are just wonderful people. We laughed a lot and worked hard. It was a great experience. Thank you Robert, for restoring my 850 to it's former leak-free state.
Also a big thanks to forum member wheelsup for his excellent MVS tutorial which helped me prep for this job and get insight into what is entailed.

Awesome job on the engine R&R for the rear seal. I already watched the video twice. I will use the tour video and wheels-up write-up as reference when I swap my transmission out. And I agree Robert DIY and Mrs. DIY are wonderful people!

For anyone who doesn't know, Robert uploaded day three of the RMS job to his YouTube channel this morning before he left for home. He will probably post it to this thread as soon as he gets the time.

Home sweet home. I wish I could have stayed longer in Texas to meet and help others. Maybe in the near future.
