Thanks, Tormie! :grin:

Then you would be interested to know that when the head cracked, I ground out a section about 1 cm deep and 6 to 8 cm long. It varied from a wall thickness of a few millimeters to about 2 cm inward. I used a brass bushing to reform a coolant passage, taped a temporary retaining wall where the side of the block would be and filled up the entire area with a "hard as steel" epoxy. So far it is holding and no sign of coolant leaks.

The rest of the nightmare was typically just getting parts that were suppose to fit, to really fit, losing parts, trying to find them, and all the other things that go along with trying to get something old running again. Fun, but fustrating, lol.
