Thanks,I will.He took the motor to some guys house some time ago to try to repair it .I got it back home now and am slowly putting it back together as the parts come in.A few pieces are missing due to the transition but hopefully they're at that guys house.I didn't split the case because it's not that many miles since a previous rebuild.So far I've installed new jugs and am getting ready to put on a new set of performance heads.I haven't looked at the old heads yet.I hope I find a burnt valve or something.Greg
