yeah, the payments are gonna suck, but it'll be nice to have something I'm not working on all the time.
The cracks in the head aren't that bad. I'll post a pic if I can get a good one. I was thinking I might get it resurfaced anyway and put it together again and let my son have it and he can run it till it quits again. It was running fine before I took it apart (well fine considering) and I've already got a gasket set on the way and I have new head bolts out in the garage. The worst that could happen is it starts overheating again. In the meantime we might be able to fine a usable head somewhere.
Should I use the new head bolts or just put the old ones back in?
