    Last night, Thursday, was the first time to the track this year. Good news, turned my fastest time yet, 7:02. Bad news, at least blew a head gasket. Water in the pan. I hope it not worse than that.

    Hope it is just a gasket problem, Jerry. Had a similiar deal with intake gasket's that were not sealing at the water ports.

    That's good....and bad. I agree with old guy Dave, I heard of some sealing problems with using the permatorque style gaskets with aluminum intakes, might want to check that out first....

    Thanks for the replies Gentlemen. I posted the video code but it doesn't work. If someone could give me a hand with it, I'd appreciate it. The audio is my daughter and son in law commenting. LOL. She had lots of faith in Dad didn't she?
