My original plan was to get this car up to Dave's shop in NC and we'd get it roadworthy, then fly down this coming weekend and drive it back, see some friends on the way. Given Sunday's progress and Dave's yesterday, that was a done deal.
After draining the temp oil last night, Dave pulled the valve covers to check on head studs and with 6 lower studs broken, I'll be trailering it home. All part of Dilaver + time + humidity = snap.
Plan now is to get the car home, get the motor out, start on the top end and make a decision on whether to go full rebuild. I have a spare engine to plug in, so I hope to be driving the car by the middle of October.
