Got the cylinders off and all the motor mounts. Now I just need to actually pull the motor out of the frame and put it on my motor stand.
Stay tuned, there's more to come soon

Bike content - finally
I got myself a 750 kit for my 69 Triumph - started stripping the head off tonight. I should get the cylinders off this weekend. I need to buy a new wrench set.
Eating better...or at least trying to...
So I went to my Dr. a couple weeks back and had my "over-40 physical". Not bad overall except my cholesterol is through the roof. So I have to change how I eat.
I'm now trying to eat more low-fat heart healthy meals. My girlfriend is on the train with me and she's cooking these heart healthier meals.
I have my next physical on 4/20 of all days LOL. Wish me luck that my cholesterol is lower.

Bad day at Black Rock...
or some crap - be forewarned - I ain't no fucking mechanic and I don't pretend to be one
So last night I start working on my truck. I needed to replace the quick disconnect for the heater hose and the thermostat gasket. The disconnect wasn't too bad, just a pain in the ass because there isn't a whole lot of room in the engine compartment. Then I moved on to the thermostat gasket. Started out OK. Figured out that the gasket is an o-ring that goes around the thermostat. So far, so good. What I didn't realize is that I needed a gasket to go between the thermostat housing and the intake manifold.
I also didn't realize that I put a electrical holder dealie between the housing and the intake manifold. Well this allowed coolant to flow like a river out of my engine. Made it about 2 miles towards work. Luckily I had a couple of bottles of anti-freeze in the bed of the truck. poured a bottle in and limped to a local mechanic. He showed me my fuck-up. Unfortunately I have an intake leak, so I am gonna let them fix it.
There goes the money I was saving to get the 750 kit for my Triumph :(
