Hey Larry, while you're in there, don't neglect the pressure cap on the
expansion tank. Looks like excessive cooling system pressure pushed those
gaskets out. Oh, and hopefully AVP has learned from past mistakes and is now
using the proper sealant on the gaskets, and also 'roughening up' the
sealing surface on the new heads, as they are too slick for even the proper
sealant to adhere to well. Amazing that you made it so far with those leaks,
congrats!

Not to mention blow head gaskets, broken alternator brackets, burst
coolant hoses and other sundry
problems of unknown origin.

If you are interested following along with a bunch of crazy French
Canadians and one whacked American trying to put the road back into
Roadhaus ...

Here's the page Ben put together.

We will attempt to update it daily as we move forward with the AVP
Engine install.
