Quick update. Chris and I finally able to get 99% of Cecil's Engine problems fixed. In fact Old "Cecil" is laying 20x10 rubber stripes and rolling smoke out under the fenders. Seems that Larry's sold me a MEMCAL for V6 not V8. Pretty pissed about that, Chris spent hours working on this engine and simple chip cured almost all the issues. Had some overheating issues and looks like we had more Dirt Dobbers nest in the bottom of the engine that was keeping the water from properly circulating in the block, couple or three radiator flushes have cured most of those issues.

Side note I found a cool app called Portrait Painter that makes photos look like they are paintings.
