Wow!  A great success story.

Sounds like you had lots of luck already so I’m expecting it will continue for you.

Good travels and report back.

SE PA and head south to SW FL  This trip will be bitter sweet as it will be
the last one for the engine in our 91 Tintop.  A couple of weeks after we
are down there, I'm traveling back to my brother's house in NC to pull the
engine to refresh with new bearings, rings, and heads.  I really don't want
to mess with it because it just runs sooooo sweet and smooth, but it has
317,000 miles on it, the heads leak when it sits and the OAT is below 40,
and lube oil analysis is indicating elevated metals.  So, before I have a
boat anchor, out it comes.

Wish me luck!
