Sorry to hear of all the terrible luck out and about in the new ride.  :(
Perhaps it could be as simple as replacing the head, intake and exhaust gaskets with a milling of the cylinder head to make it flat again?

Is there anything more fun than riding? They are between your legs and are quiet when you turn them off.

I had a Toyota Supra years ago that overheated - but only when I towed my boat.
That pissed me off.

big cars with big engines are easier than small cars with no under hood room terry,let the wreckers do it and ask them if you can drink beers and watch them?

Yeah, I agree Dave, and I'm not at all worried about it, even with a blown head gasket it was a steal for 500 bucks, I've been going thru all the receipts that came with the car, and the PO spent a lot of money on it.

The wrecker sent me an email to say that the engine was sold on Friday, but there's another one coming in this week, which he'll sell me for $1500 plus another 600 to fit, (including a 3 month warranty, new oil, filter and coolant) so if he lets me drink beer while he does it, it's a done deal! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

That's not a bad price to chuck the new engine in it Terry.  Mind you there is only about 12 bolts holding the engines in from memory, then a few hoses and wires, only give you time to get through half a carton ;D

Ha ha, thanks Andrew, I'll keep my old engine and rebuild it with some hot up parts from a performance shop the US, and if the new (used) engine schidts itself, I'll do the next swap myself. Cheers, Terry. ;D

Geez, after 2 days of cleaning up the shed, you can actually move around in there a bit without tripping over sh1t.
It's all good sh1t though because it's Honda 4 sh1t so it doesn't matter.

So then I sat down with a nice cold beer and started gloating at the achievment.
Only to realise that everything has been moved from where it was to somewhere else.

The only problem now is that it's gonna take 6 fcuking months to find anything again.
I know how to piss myself off.  ;D

That HQ looks salubrious Dave.
The missus is sick of trying to piss me off because I won't listen.
Next best thing is to piss yourself off.
That's easy.  ;D

I'm pissed off that some old bald coot is looking at Dave's car and giving us the finger. Fcukin hooligans piss me off.
Don't worry Dave, the coppers will find him whoever he is, if he does not die first from pickin his nose with brake pad dust all over his filthy fingers.

Well I've just finished doing some mowing in the dark and luckily the John Deere ride on has headlights which are as about as useful as a cigarette in a fcuking snow storm.

Now the missus just got into me for mowing over the Ghost Gum seedlings that she planted last week.
I didn't know that they were there and she never told me so I'm pleading not guilty.

So to keep the peace, I've been thinking about putting a couple of Cibie Oscar spotties on the John Deere.

Trouble is that I'm not sure how to upgrade the charging system and that pisses me off.   ;D

I realize you are Australian and have probably never been in a snow storm...but cigarettes actually work just fine in a snow storm.  Pisses me off that I can easily prove this as we speak.
