Temps are in the 70's I put a water wetter from royal purple in it. It is hanging in there now not heat creeping. I got oil leaks down to a low roar.

I been driving it putting some miles on it. Gets a whopping 9 mpg now.

Well I got a Weiand water pump that seemed to fix the heat creep sitting still. Almost 500 miles on it now and time to change the read end grease.

LOL 540 miles I did the same thing today. Changed the rear end oil. It looked good. So it is ready for the duration.

I did the engine oil again as well.

Then cleaned her. She may sit this week. It supposed to rain.

We up to 830 miles it is starting to cool off. Had a intake leak changed the gaskets.

Rode the bike to the Jim's the engine builder. He wants me to bring it to his house just to look at it. I go by his house 3 days a week. I will stop let him hear it.

LOL wife rode in it today finally. We went and did some shopping. When we got there she said this was my ride. Now if all our cars are broke it is a last resort. She calls it the Angry Car.

The headers came car is apart. I am modifying the a/c on the firewall so the valve cover goes on and off without pulling the engine. It is a winter wonderland so no driving.

It was the valve cover gasket leaking like a pig on the passenger side.

Well back down and play with my toy. 1900 miles so far. got a set of hotter plugs coming.

Adjusted the carb And it likes these headers alot better than the drags a lot hooker ones. Dont drag at all anymore and don't dare nail it your going sideways.

I got the oil leaks down to Lake Meads flow now.

I rebuilt the power steering it sprung a leak.
