Great writeup- - - - - -and Archie's rig got some major surgery on Sunday afternoon. His cylinder head followed me home to middle Tennessee, where it's going to get a full rehab, along with a new head gasket once the rebuild is finished. That engine was rebuilt around 50 years ago, so the idea that 216's are fragile and unreliable has been proved to be false once again! There was about a half inch gap blown in the gasket between the #2 and #3 cylinders which caused the miss and compression loss on those cylinders. 46 Texaco will be back on the road soon!

I'm glad things worked out so I could attend the show and see my stovebolter friends again!
