Ha, I went through my old box of chemicals last week and found a 40-yr-old tube of Yamabond 4. It actually still felt pliable inside the metal tube - but the label said use within one year. So, I reluctently tossed it, along with some 1970 Hodaka shifter springs.

Now, as luck has a way of doing, while waiting for better weather to do the rear main, I am seeing a developing oil leak from the head gasket! I guess it's time, it's been about 10 years and 100k. Well, my January dance card just got filled.

Cheers,
