Thank you so much Alistair!  You say 'quick and dirty' - but that looks
pretty clean to me.

I am still looking with fear at my van and have not yet had the guts to
pull the heads off.  I'm going to order a gasket set sometime soon.  Aside
from JB weld, the gasket set ( http://www.busdepot.com/025198009b ) - is
there anything else good to have on hand?

Tom
