OK, cancel my reservations, I have a couple of marketing plans and need to do some research on a company I'm interviewing with next week.

Alright guys heading towards home in the morning... Picking up some steaks on the way in for dinner Sat night... Should have plenty of wood for camp fire, etc...


Pulled the valve cover today to check out the valves.. all are about 2-5thou too tight, my guess from the new seats setting in, may loosen then up a bit this weekend.

Will be nice to work on some projects this weekend in a shop!!

Steaks are good, but they don't stay with you like the chili does.

Since I don't have any work to do on the truck, I might bring the GN with the 4 wheelers. I've had all the fluids for changin for a while, just no time to do it.

Remember how it's done. I still have all the stuff for mine, but no chance to do it.

Like to check mine too. I have a baring tool but it's much easier with two.. to set the cam in the right place!
Let's do it.

Anyone seen the new Head Cover Gaskets. B model? Mine has been leaking slightly so I bgt a new one. Very stout by comparison. Ought to be for the price. Metal cross pieces between each cylinder!

Was going to install it before leaving in the am...but I'll wait till we do valves!
