It runs again!

[jerry burt]

It runs!!
It's been a long haul but between neck surgery, a heart attack, and excessive heat this summer the coach started in less than one revolution today.
YES!!

2 rebuilt heads, another intake, new thermostat and housing, new fuel pump, waterpump, double roller timing chain set, new hoses and belts, and I
split the radiator shroud. The new water pump leaked so it had to replace it.

For those who don't remember my posts/questions last Feb, this started with an exhaust manifold leak on the way back from the New Years party at Casa
de Fruta.

Why does it now take 2 hours to get 30 minutes of work done? It didn't used to.

We all are adjusting to that 30 minute job taking 2 hours! You have gone thru a lot. Give yourself a year to get to your new normal.
