Good thing you don't have to take heads off that often. __________________ "I got 350 heads on a 305 engine. I get 10 miles to the gallon. I ain't got no good intentions." - The Drive By Truckers.

Ufotofu: I reused my bolts. Manual said it was okay so there we go, . Good to see you around. __________________ EcoModder's best: Donate to EM \| Window clings \| EM Shirts \| Better Gas Mileage \| MPG Tracking More fun sites: Green Home Improvement \| crxMPG \| Benjamin FT Jones \| Vegan Recipes \| Car-free Living
