You guys crack me up...

As far as the car goes, it is back in the garage. The heating problems came back on the power tour. The car was so hot that I melted some spark plug wires. After a few days, the problem became obvious when white smoke appeared along with a strong coolant smell. Yep, that's right... pin hole in the gasket. Put some stop leak in and we were on our way. I am actually impressed at how the car held up even with that issue. Now I am waiting on new gaskets and also need to change out the steering rack. Hopefully then I can get that baby on the track!

Unleashed, sorry to hear that the deal fell through. Good luck with the Procharger.

I am going to stay with the Flatout copper gasket. They actually have held up well. I think the reason that I pin holed this gasket is because I reused it when I pulled the heads to change the lifters. Although it is a copper gasket, they come with a rubber seal that really shouldn't be reused once pulled.
