You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

I got her running today and found a blown head gasket, looks like it's been that way awhile. The head is soaking in the parts washer overnight and the block and piston are already cleaned up. More tomorrow. :thumb1

Tires came in this morning. She's gonna be little monster lol, ags all around and a stack. :woo

A little elbow grease goes a long way, the head looks nice the head gasket should love that.

The head is all cleaned up and milled, the rear end is draining. The left hub is off but the right is going to be tough, it soaked all night last night and will give it another try today. I also found some wire holding the right tie rod end on lol. :tounge2

Well... I'm not sure if I have too much impact and air, or if the hub is too stuck. :laughing This is only the 2nd hub ever that has destroyed my 8 grade puller bolt so I guess I should be happy... :whew

I win. :woo

The puller has been upgraded to a 1" 8 grade bolt. The extra day of soaking and getting out my old coveted metal can of KD Knocker Loose fluid last night may have helped too.

I am still reeling from the $10 bolt though lol. :rolling
