Pulling the heads was a bit frustrating - no super obvious signs of leakage. The gaskets were really thin material similar to the intake gasket material. After a couple days, there were signs old coolant “residue” around the cylinders on the block. I think this issue has been headed this way for a while.

Heads are back on, and as soon as I finish my samidge, I’m gonna put everything else but the intake back together.

I think he is stalling, doesn't want to meet up for that ride we talked about late last year for this fall on the Blue Ridge Parkway for the fall colors.

I’ve been a lot quieter than I want to be but I am as determined as I have ever been to get my Jeep done, it has finally cooled off some so I was able to get a little time in today, still can’t find my tubbing bender but I got a few good bends in on some new hard fuel line in the engine bay now I need to work with it under the Jeep

Well I did get a chance to get the steering box back in a no leaks so far


Of course I haven’t had a chance to fire it up yet to see if it will hold pressure or not

I am so mad at myself, I shot myself in the foot buying the new house. Even more frustrating on how close I am to being ready to be on the trail
