The Fed-Ex guy just left after dropping off my oil pump and other goodies.

I got the cylinder head back this morning and I have everything I need to get back to work on the Tin Can, including 50 degree weather for a few days, above-freezing at night.

In theory, when this engine is put back together, it will be better than ever...or at least, any smoking will be absolutely minimal: there's no question I've addressed the core problem of the oil burning.

Will be taking pics to post.

Time to fire up the kerosene heater!
