yeah.. and today wasn't one I would call a record day.... found some water
in the oil of the C motor I was going to run in a couple of weeks ...
pulled it out to put the new heads and cam on it... damn sam.... couldn't
find a gasket problem... so we are going to the Local motor shop to check
it out... not good...
I am worried about it having froze this winter... not likely but
possible... we don't have that many cold days here but the few we had could
have been deadly... hmmm Oh well it doesn't really matter other then I had
this great plan put together.... now it is all up in the air... You gotta
love it...
