noobi, I make my living using the internet.....my business only exists in cyberspace.

It never would occur to me to google "rattle gun".....I am not being sarcastic, I am deadly serious. It's a running joke at our house. I can't find shit. Hell, I can't even find porn! I "google it" and it says " "0 results for "porn".

Not kidding, it's odd......

Seriously, I have never heard an impact gun called a rattle gun and I'm an old man who was (they say, and paid me like it) a pretty good mechanic a long time ago. I asked Mac today if he had a "rattle gun" and he had no idea what I was talking about. When I told him he agreed that we have never used the term. We've been friends >40 years!

Guys, thank you all for the help, suggestions and the attempts to set me straight!

Gonna tackle the forks as soon as I fool with the links on the 450 and the tire.....you know, my other "project"!

ps......for amusement......I once assembled a "Formula Ford" 1.6 Kent engine in our kitchen. I carried the block in.....put the in crank and the rest......assembled the head...cast iron of course......put the head on and had the engine pretty much ready to add fluids and fire up. The "oh shit" moment happened when we tried to get it out the kitchen......apparently all the pieces added up to a butt load of hard to hold weight. I called friends, they laughed at me, it was a nightmare to get it down our front steps.

That motor kicked ass....9,600 RPM.... a push rod motor! Dual Webbers, A6 300 degree cam, 10.6:1 pistons flycut for the valves to have clearance because of the lift, ported, polished, big valve, flow benched head.....bad ass....and I put it together in the kitchen w/o realizing it'd be "difficult" to get out the house and down the steps.....oh the days of youth! In my Siesta that motor won me a first place in the Autocross! Got a trophy to prove it!

I'm not completely incompetent but I sure am capable of stupid shit!
