oh no, sorry i didnt mean it that way.

all I need ot do is retune it, buy a new plug, and try to get that dent out.

quick question though, when you freeze it the metal gets very cold and when metal gets cold its brittle, so wont it crack the pipe hen it expands??

the thing that makes the dents pop out is the expansion of water when it freezes, the pipe doesnt expand, metal contracts when it cools

If I end up going to the track tomorrow you can borrow my JP-1 if we're running outdoor or my jp-2 if we're running indoor, but I'm not sure if I can go yet.

What do you mean by it's not looking good?
