I think I've found the solution to the head bolts leaking and I'll share it with you asap. I won't have time to do it until after the holiday weekend but I will do my part to help you all out. More later.

How'd you make out SDFever? Mine are still dripping, not as bad as before, but still annoying. I think I will wait till the fall before I make another attempt at sealing them and just run the boat for the summer, keeping a close eye on it.

Actually working on right after the 4th. No use in tearing the boat down until after. Just been busy at work and every time I start getting ready I either have to drop it or it's a nice day and I wind up running it.

It's really hard to work on a boat with my boating schedule. :drink:

Hey, how did you make out with the thread sealant, any luck yet?

I"ve been through a lot in the last year and a half or so. I broke one of my engines and then I bought some new stuff - heads, bottom end, and I made a bunch of changes before I got a chance to play with it.

Bottom line is it's fixed for now.
