Still happy with the work? I have oil in my coolant and need some work done...

Yes, head had cracks in the runners. Replaced it with another head.

AWESOME!!!

That was it. Purrs like a kitten now. Almost 1am here. Little late for neighbors but I'll try and get her tuned tomorrow. Pulling better vaccuum now too! Yeah!

Power valve and washer in question.
