Hey Larry, while you're in there, don't neglect the pressure cap on the expansion tank. Looks like excessive cooling system pressure pushed those gaskets out. Oh, and hopefully AVP has learned from past mistakes and is now using the proper sealant on the gaskets, and also 'roughening up' the sealing surface on the new heads, as they are too slick for even the proper sealant to adhere to well. Amazing that you made it so far with those leaks, congrats! Karl -----Original Message----- Not to mention blow head gaskets, broken alternator brackets, burst coolant hoses and other sundry problems of unknown origin. If you are interested following along with a bunch of crazy French Canadians and one whacked American trying to put the road back into Roadhaus ... Here's the page Ben put together. http://www.benplace.com/roadhaus.htm We will attempt to update it daily as we move forward with the AVP Engine install. Larry Chase
