So it’s part order time. Started with one of my first shops cruiser outfitters. I was told they didn’t have the headgasket, or the intake or thermostat housing to block. That’s weird, I’ve never fully struck out with them…
Googled online and found a US online dealer and placed an order for the headgasket and I take gasket. 10 mins later I get a call…
Um, there are none of those in the US and backlog so none available. Now 2 thoughts enter my mind, f@ck…I could be waiting a while, and then 2, the ghost of @OGBeno yelling “parts monkeys don’t know jack…”
So partsouq for the win on the headgasket, will be here in a week.
Strangely I was able to order the intake gasket and thermostat/block gasket on cruiser outfitters online and it shipped…not sure what got crossed but I believe all parts on the way
So here I am 5 years later in the same spot(ish) as I was in 2019…a cruiser without a head
The day I got her
