    Good stuff, from what I've heard, but never used it. PB Blaster is easy to find & pretty cheap.....always worked for me. I hope the Kroil works for you.....pulling a head (or both) is not cheap.

    The silverdohicky will get more aluminum and likely go all too. I hear they might even ditch dem push rods..............

    Lead or follow and seems GM is doing the later lately.

    Not cheap if you have it done, Much cheaper if you spin the spanners yourself. :D

    I might still pull off those chores. Just takes far longer these days. Hard to bend the old bones....

    That's called smart. Let the blue oval spend all their time & $$ to work out the problems. The public doesn't care who did it first.

    Beat ya to it! Already in the basement :thumbs: My worry...'cause I worry too much....is when I put a pipe wrench on the gauge to unscrew it so I can pump the oil out, one of the rusty legs will collapse. So, I am building cribbing to support the tank just in case. The tank itself looks ok. The legs are baaaaaad.:bug:

    Long azz chains suck. Seems even Ford has problems with them stretching and setting correlation codes...

    The MWP softies aren't on the same level as other softies, like Lacrete or Spruce Pointe. They aren't worth the extra $$$ to me. The blend is a decent pellet at a decent price, at least up here. I plan on picking up a ton or 2 next month.

    It looks like the warm temps are over for us up here. Dropping onto the 30's tonight and 20's and teens later in the week. High temp Sat. only in the 30's. I'll start chewing up some pellets now.

    Change the clocks and you mess with the time-space continuum resulting in loss of heat retention.

    Or maybe it is really November and getting cold

    Either way it sux :tears:

    Right-it has said that for the last 2 days as well as tomorrow which I WISH was going to be 54 deg

    I wonder if yours is correct as it shows 42 degrees and last update of 8:53PM

    You're right....that temp's wrong, and I hadn't noticed the last update. WeatherUnderground goes through this occasionally. I don't see any data unavailable, though.
