Just thought I'd share that we made our longest trip to date with Grover and his new engine. Almost 500 miles from MI to upstate NY (via Canada). Flawless trip! Still having so up front heating issues - I suspect that the heads weren't installed surihe rebuild (before I owned the engine) with the best craftsmanship - because they are weaping a bit and I'm having a hard time getting the cooling system bled completely. If I run it at idle while bleeding I cannot leave the cap off the pressure tank without the coolant building up and over flowing. According to things I've seen Dennis say it could be leaking exhaust into the cooling system. So if I can get through winter I'll lok into doing a head gasket job when the weather breaks. Anyhow, for now - thin are good. It was a nice drive (a bit cold on the feet up front) but Patty was toasty in the back the back heater kept us pretty comfortable over all. HAPPY NEW YEAR! -- Thanks, Jeff '90 Carat (Grover) '86 (We call this one Parts) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus
