Should be in the headset. How about spare bolts/nuts for the exhaust pipe? Hose for between the t'stat and WP? Seals for Inj nozzle holders? On Thu, 2 May 2013 10:02:28 -0700 (PDT) Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com wrote: SOLD! Anything else? I'll need to order parts soon to be ready

Turbo drain at the block is gonna be virtually free. When I pulled the head on one of mine, I left the manifolds attached. Don't forget to buy a new chain tensioner gasket. -- John W Reames jream...@verizon.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On May 2, 2013, at 15:16, Craig

Drop the oil pan and swap out the gasket. Clean the intake and exhaust manifolds. Refinish the exhaust manifold to remove rust/corrosion and give it a good painting. clay On May 2, 2013, at 6:09 AM, Curt Raymond wrote: Okay Dimitri's enthusiasm has spurred me to think about replacing
