Subject:Sad end to the head saga

Well, my replacement head arrived yesterday, so I stayed up til
midnight getting everything ready to go back in.

Today, after the first three rounds of torque wrenching, came time for
the two quarter-turn pulls to get to the final tension before starting.

Bolt # 1 didn't make it through the first quarter turn before it popped
the threads out of the block.

Now looking for a long block or used engine. If there are any out
there, let me know.

Thanks,

Jim
