Title: Might have water on the brain. New Head gasketts required.
Post by: dustystrucktoo on March 26, 2009, 05:43:48 am
I do believe that I have the gaskets, I will need to get the new bolts.
I have a new cam ready, might as well change it, new lifters ready, 8 of the 16 roller rockers- self aligning. And a new double roller timing chain.  Too bad I scrapped a set of 64cc chamber center bolt heads last year.  Could have had a machine shop put some vent ports, and increased the compression.....
I should be starting on it this weekend with taking the engine apart.  And with my sleeping excessively, this should only take about 23 weeks to accomplish.

Me thinks I revved my engine past 5000 rpm too much...  Coolant disappearing from overflow and a lot of moisture coming out of the exhaust tips...
