I had good results with the copper stuff. I was even able to reuse a head gasket and get it to seal. Didn't put many miles/hours on that engine but there were no immediate signs of any leakage.

Is it blue ink, yet? Should we send some sandpaper?

Funny Guy?!

Actually I have yet to fire it up.  With my schedule only allowing me Sunday Afternoon on the engine I was able to get it all back together and roll it over several times with the ratchet wrench on the crank nut.  Once I determined all is well there, I dropped down in HG thickness and was worried, I pulled out the jumper cables and hit the started enough times to notice nice whitish smoke out the exhaust ports.  I still need to put the manifolds on and prime the injector lines but I am hopeful all is going to be OK.

My fall back to the diesel was going to be an electric conversion.  I found a super deal on a motor and controller and such only to go back to it the next day and see the ad removed.  Someone local must have run across town with 500 cash and snagged it.  The combo was worth 3K otherwise.

Always the thinker/tinkerer.
