Subject:HELP-HEADS NEEDED ASAP
Date:Sun, 29 Aug 1999 02:17:21 EDT

As noted in a post a short time ago, my heads started leaking as a result of
engine overheating caused by a ruptured lower radiator hose.  My 86 Syncro
was left in the capable hands of my trusted mechanic.  (I am traveling on
business in Chicago now and will drive back to Minneapolis on Monday.) He
found out late Friday that both of my heads are cracked and therefore can not
be reused.

If  anyone has one or two extra heads (in new or like-new condition) for the
2.1 engine that they are willing to part with for a reasonable price, please
contact me ASAP (by e-mail or on my cell phone at (612) 237-6653).  If I
cannot locate heads by Monday, then I will fork over the $ to one of the
reliable List Vendors for new or rebuilt heads.

Time is of the essence, as BBTA is this coming weekend.  If I can't get the
Syncro fixed in time, then I will be forced to drive a Toyota.

Thank you all for any help or suggestions.
