Cussed at it The Demon while adding my morning coolant. Cussed at myself for not doing option B yet when the Amigos came on after the customary 200 feet out of my driveway. I always smile for those 200' in the mornings when there are no lights on, too bad it is always short lived.
Used it to haul my new toy!!! Could definitely use some more powerful brakes but generally towed just fine. Starting to see a pattern here - now we have two V8 Rovers and a V8 boat. Had to replace a couple of things right off the bat after buying the boat... I think it will feel at home parked behind the Rovers.
Tried to put valve covers on...tried.
Gaskets are junk, top front hole is punched over 3/8" off center(both gaskets, and both heads and valve covers are the same, so they are nondirectional, and gaskets cannot be flipped over).
Since the gaskets fit the valve cover, and the metal insert is pressed into the gasket for the bolt holes, and the top front doesn't line up...if you put the bolt through the hole first, there's a nice 3" part of the gasket around the bolt hole that is pushed down and out over the intake.
The whole gasket is too long too!
****!!!
Another set back, and over junk parts. Yay.
Anyone else seen that before?

Sharp! And fun! What's the skinny on the boat? Type? Price? Use?
