COMMENTS: Camp on the street, if you want. I have a decent range of tools
(including an ATV jack and a floor jack), but only curbside space to work.
I'm close to downtown Missoula and lots of amenities. I'm pretty familiar
with upright engines and Type 3 and 4 engines, but am by no means a
diagnostician. In other words, I'm good at turning a wrench as long as I
have someone else to help me figure out what to turn it on.
