Subject:      i return, and the questions begion once more..



after the 24hr server move turned into a nice weeklong fiasco, i return, 
ad find that all the mail just piled upo, as i hoped..now to read threw 
it all..only 762 messages..i've had over 1000 before...anyway....

i got bored, and dropped the motor in the bus..according to St. John, it 
takes 2 people..it took this one person 47 minutes and 33 seconds. had to 
use crowbar to pry the buss over the enigne though..after romoving the 
carb, manifold, dizzy, and that "thing" ont he enigne..<not to be 
confused with the type 181> anyway....removed the tin, with all the 
screws nicely seized..how fun!, and the fan housing, and the whole 
heaterbox muffler contracption..<i know...remove before hand and the 
einge is easier..anyhow, i didnt have the boards to put jack under and 
still get the wrench up there...

snapped off the top of 2 exhaust studs...twisted rright off..

and, on cylidners 3 and 2, err..the heads, where the cyl. and head meet, 
on that last fin, same place, both sides of eninge<left and roght that 
is..> is a crack.,.or a split..is this suppossed to be there?

and the sticky <maybe>valve..what would i do about it if it was? 

and how to detect a cracked head? <i DONT want to pull this thing apart 
unless i haveto....right now i have my bug to worry about..right lower 
ball joint popped free..:(


anyway..thanks...
