Thanks man. Yup, definitely happy. Still lacking some faith on how long it'll run well, haha. If it goes a week I think I'll be fairly confident it'll be okay a few years though.

I still laugh about the time I saw you driving out of Lake Cowichan about 10 years ago...

was like , damn that dude is fixated so hard on his temp gauge I don't think he even saw me

Yeah, towing with this thing has always been a white knuckle event.

Got it all put back together. Oil looked good at second change. Gave the Evans s*** the big finger and went back to regular water mix after lots of flushing. Took the truck for quite a good drive on highway and in town and all seems fine. No smoke from exhaust or stink pipe. Easy starting. So, seems a success.

Parked outside for first time in 4 months!

Now remember... just say no to dragging trailer over the hat... not to flog a dead horse.

350 with RV Cam... or newer LS motor or similar. It's too bad you just sunk so much money into the current engine. Or... you can start collecting parts for the next time something goes south.

I could sell the existing engine now at least. Or part it out. Anyhow, although mildly tempting, I don't even have time. Hmmmm, but I did just remember a neighbor whos been trying to talk me into this. He offered me a good condition low km 268 SBC for free...

Walk away….

Don’t make eye contact and run away… don’t walk.
