Thanks guys. I have about another hour left and will have the head off. I've got my fingers crossed that there is no damage to the head and it is just the gasket. It has a substantial coolant leak from the passenger side rear.

I have slowed down alot in regards to posting because since the divorce life has become real busy. A couple things - alot more responsibility at my full time job, Harley riding and my fiance lives in Savannah, Ga (170 miles away). If I am not working I am in Savannah with her and we are usually riding the Harley which I have been averaging around 15,000 miles/year. I have known her since 1981 and when I moved out of the house (beginning of the divorce) I knocked on her door about a month later and we have been together every since. Our plans are to eventually marry at City Market in Savannah where the band plays in front of Wild Wings on Saturday afternoon. Everybody on here is invited if they are in town. We will meet a preacher there either during one of the bands breaks or after they finish playing or we may just marry out at Tybee. It is going to be a spur of the moment thing. Anyway, she has already shown me where I can put up a shop in her backyard. She appreciates having a capable mechanic in the family.

I'm glad for you Jim. I like happy news and it's about time we heard happy news from you. But how can we come if it's a spur of the moment thing?

I tried to get the family to agree with me about going to Savannah next month for vacation. I was asked "what's there to do?" and told "the beach is too far". I was overrided and we will be going to Tampa Bay instead. (if I can get the SDL together)

I need to get my Harley running again. I miss it.
