    Got me a new little welder

    Every welder has a duty cycle. It all depends on how they are built. Some of the high end ones are a 100% duty cycle. Welding will generate heat no matter what you do. It is basicaly a short with a sacrifitial piece of some kind. ie. the welding rod or wire. For a "homeowner, DIY'r" these...

    Head gasket job under way

    I have done all the above. Definitly pull the hood. Cherry picker works really good even if you have help. It really helps keeps things from dropping provided the one runnin the valve on the picker has a slow trigger finger!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had bad luck with Walts heads. They cracked around the bottom of the valve spring seats. But that was after 3 years so no warrenty left. Thanks again WALT!!!!!!

    Big Rigs. What do you prefer

    Mike pretty cool. I have seen Collins pull many times as he lives 1 hour away from me. Sometimes it can be seen at the Sidley's (MACK dealership) that sponsers him.
