If it weren't for bad luck.....

Indeed. I am almost there now. Been pluggin away, takin a break, pluggin away, takin a break. All I have left is the rest of the rockers and pushrods, disconnect 4 exhaust bolts and then the head bolts and we're home. At least I can do the labor for no cost......well.............my cost will be a heavy mirgaine for several days and I will be worth less of a **** than usual. LOL
