I had about 12"-14" here and my yard still has 5-6" on it.
Right now the fog is REAL thick, maybe 700-800' of visibility now.

Good Morning CT!

We still have 4'-5" left in spots that had snow after all the wind during the storm!

HEY JUSTIN!!!

andy- the timing belt was the weak link, cogs ripped off of the belt and allowed it to slip out of time. the original failure was the tensioner on the belt. i am uploading pics now...

ebay/junker heads range from 500-700 depending on newness, and i would need to add the cost of all the other stuff needed.

total cost for everything to rebuild my head, and replace timing belt water pump and tensioner will be around 800.

its a close race, if any of the guides or seats were hurt i was going to go with a junker head. after i got everything apart and inspected it looks like i will be rebuilding what i have.

i will not be doing any mods too it though, sorry brendon.
