    Cracked the head on the starter - over torqued?

    Its the bolts, I think one or both r bent. I put my starter on with bent bolts and u could not get it tight so I took it off n on several times before I bought new bolts and the brace and got it tight easy then.

    Storm Downed Corn

    Was on the eastern shore of Md when a tropical storm flattened a lot of corn n it was mature so no recovery growth. They put the grain heads on the combines n tore into the tangled mess.

    My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

Anyway in 100-105 temps she runs a consistant 190-200 in rolling hills. If I hit a big hill I can drop her into third and...
