[DEairheads] [PAAirheads] Fwd: 83 R80RT /7 engine repair

[David Cowgill]

Hi, Dave,
    Sorry to hear of your troubles.
    The guys that Kat mentioned are definitely world class, but there is
expert help much closer to you on the Eastern Shore: Bryant Clark.
Bryant is just west of Bethany Beach, Delaware: (302) 841-9087. He doesn't
work on everything, due mostly to time and space. He did a great job on my
R100
carbs, but declined to do the transmission on my R90s. (Tom Cutter did
that.)
    If Bryant agrees to help you, you'll enjoy his shop.
                Best wishes,
                                     Dave C.
