      That was a good article.  So, Hopefully, the parts will arrive tomorrow and we will be putting it back together.  What torque should I use for the crank?  I am using 120 ft lbs for the head gasket.

        Hey guys thanks for the kind words.  Will hear is a good one.  Was doing some cleaning up around the block this evening when I noticed something strange inside.  It the front port for the lifter there was a nail, yes a nail.  It even has primer on it from when the engine was sprayed. 

        you can see the nail in the bottom right corner.

        This is the Nail.

          Ok it is a cracked sleeve!  Got it removed and got a new one ordered.  It is cracked right around the sleeve behind one of the o rings.

          You can see the water beading out of the crack.

          You can see some damage on the piston.  I got a replacement coming as well.

          Hopefully, this is it!

            Hey, I don't got that port you speak of.  I just took the base plate off this evening and the water is dripping down from the “front” cylinder.  I can't see much moe then that right now.  I guess I have a crack in the sleeve or the o ring is shot.  I will find out more tomorrow I hope.

              Before I changed the cylinder head gasket the first time, we had some oil in the rad.  Not this time though.

                thanks, I have read his post, I checked the bolts of that plate while I had the head off.  It looked ok, but with that said you never know.
