Thanks for all the compliments all and Wes for posting.
Yukon: That sure sounds tempting.....ah, I guess I'll have to pass. I really don't want to drive that far for a trade. But, if you have some extra grease to throw in...
Scotti: The crowds are slowly starting to grow out at Keller's. We went a couple weeks ago on a Friday night and plan on going this Friday night to meet up with a few other truckers. They guys over at Sachse Rod shop seem to be pretty good. I haven't done business with them, but they seem to be top notch.
I roughed up the edges on the valve covers, timing cover and oil pan to help fight leaks. They didn't leak before, but there's always a first time for everything.
