Hello SS
Its been a while since I have made an appearance here. Life has been crazy and keeping me busy.
AT Uharrie Brandon had mentioned he heard a exhaust valve leak and to check it out.. Well, I never checked it and like a dumb ass I continued to drive it. Well I was on my way to my hunting land and she decided to show me how much I should have checked that valve.. I was traveling down the highway and it sounded like I ran over a IED. I thought the Taliban had ambushed me on I-26. A huge boom went off and the entire cab filled with smoke.
Upon some inspection with Adam it seemed as though I blew my head gasket. Not sure of the cause? Could it have been the exhaust valve out of adjustment? Could it have been a weak gasket?
After much delay into getting into the engine, Adam came over and sparked a fire under my ass and we broker her down.
Here is what we found.
Going to replace the gasket and adjust the valve clearance and see if this fixes it. I sure hope so.
I hope all are doing well on SS. Just figured I would say hello and let you see what is going on one of the deuces. Looking forward to see you all in GA rally. It will be a blast.
