Just loaded up my extra set of 18mm headgaskets n a bunch of extra new parts, n headed to Arizona. Do you guys remember creator? His name is Corey, he's the one that did the Blackwater engine while I was doing mine. He's doing headgaskets right now n should have it tore down when we get there n we will give her hell tryin to get it back together in the short time I have to spare. I actually only will have about 5-6 hours. But I will not steal his thunder about the little situation he's in right now. He's gonna put a thread here about it. Hint: it's about black diamond gaskets.

The stock head gaskets and studs do not fail if correctly installed, but others have to learn the hard way.....

Hey guys. Got stuck in Iowa while tow bar ing a buddy's dodge back from Denver cause of the snow.


The slop in my receiver made it fairly squirrely.
If you have a drawbar in your receiver, and grab n shake the ball, that slop was amplified to the back of the dodge and letting it sway about a foot back n forth. That sukd. Here's how I stiffened it up

I locked the drawbar to the passenger side of the hitch. Now the drawbar doesn't move at all

Btw, hey Mike, do you have plans on Friday night?? I'm gonna deliver a Laval QC on Friday morn. I will have done time to hang out if you aren't already committed to something. Maybe dee004 doesn't have plans also.

I turn my cell service off as soon as I hit the border and go into wireless internet mode and search out free wifi spots. Saves a ton of cash. Hope we can make it happen this time around. Cheers buddy .

We stopped at a Walmart up there once to price one, but they aren't as cheap as here,, I might as well just add international calling to my plan.
