Sam,

Looks really good.

 

There is a lot of gunk and build-up everywhere! I'm glad I did this, she should be runing like new soon. My HG were not broken, head bolts were tight. I'm puzzled as to why it was leaking, also my rad is full of crap. Its going to be sent out too.

 

Looks like the coolant wasn't flushed very often.

 

Danny,

Thanks for the quick reply and insight. Will definitely check into D&D as suggested.

Would like to say thank you for the service you did for our country. 4 more and retire with 28 years service myself. Can't wait.

Have been around aviation my entire life in one facit or another. Sometimes "aircraft stuff" can be adapted for use on vehicle engines etc. to help eliminate future issues with broken bolts etc. learned this from my late father.

Never know till one ask, never know till one tries, never know till one dares.

Once again, thanks for the advice about D&D. Will look in to that.
