Very good advice. Without shelter in a dirt parking lot, there is a very good chance that you will be loosing tools, and fumbling around in a rain storm trying to install a head gasket. Under poor conditions like this there is a good chance you would be doing the job over in a very shortly time. My thoughts are ether get it to a good shop in the area, or rent a U-haul and tow her home. Eric
