Another FSJ, On the road again, again.

[mic63]

Now that I've missed every car show for the season. The old 230 is screaming down the road again. First test run went good. Made a few adjustments, and second test run produced LEAKS. Coolant and oil, expected, not suprised, remained calm. Retorqued head and intake manifold to fix coolant leaks, been holding for the last 300 miles. Oil leak bites. I'll have to remove the timing chain cover for the fix. It leaks about a quart every 150 miles, I'm going to drive it till the snow flies, then the fix in a heated garage. Runs smooth, no more smoke cloud. With the exception of 2 red lights, I held a steady 70 mph for 23 miles. I don't have to stick to the back roads anymore.
