Appreciate the kind words man! I had the old rig out for some deer season scouting and exploring today, it performed perfect

Thanks Zane! I'm a little on the edge about trying to save that parts machine, or just leaving it as is. We'll see how it goes. It's coming onto hunting season again here soon, so we'll see if that head gasket holds up or not

Thanks!

It's mostly the video editing that slows it down. I use to really enjoy the editing, but now I find it kills me to sit down and do it.

FYI, I believe that new head gasket is made of a material we call “grafoil”. I work in maintenance at a paper mill in upstate NY and we use this material for sealing high temperature applications. Basically a sandwich of stainless steel foil between two layers of graphite impregnated fibers. At least as far as I can tell from the video, it should be more than suitable for that purpose.

@@johncook931 glad to hear it! I've been a little worried about the service life of that head gasket. So far so good though
