welcome aboard! was it the sled in orrington?

[bakeman]

Yes it was,do you know the sled?

[luckyone]

i went and looked at it,said it was totally rebuilt only had new base gasket on i side and did not have any coolant in the overflow bottle. the reason i did not buy the sled is it had a huge tear in the track from a stud fetching up on something.i pointed this all out to him.the exhaust is stock on it.keep an eye on the coolant level i suspected it had a coolant leak from a leaking head gasket.if you keep adding and cant find puddles of coolant ,you might want to replace the other head and base gaskets

[bakeman]

huh,coolant over flow was full but hose going down into coolant was missing w/i looked at it,has a damaged r-side cooler in tunnel that was patched,I've been keeping an eye on it-no leaks so far,yea it needs a track but i ended up getting it for less than the asking price.

[luckyone]

just keep an eye on the coolant level,i was worried that the coolant was leaking in to the cylinder.the side that was not done had coolant stains were the head meets the cylinder not good for the crank bearings.

[bakeman]

Thanks for the info.I want to pull the heads any way the new gasket on one side makes me wonder,seemed kinda half a$$ed to me too.

[luckyone]

sounds like a smart idea. keep us posted, lot of good caring guy,s on here to help if you lose your way. good luck with it.
