You sure ya need em yet? Did George say so?

[grungeant (Anthony)]

Not yet. Just window shopping right now. I'm trying to get an idear of what's decent for how much, if I need it.

Some people said I may have a dropped seat. I'm not sure what that means. I guess it means the valve seat is sunk into the head?
That might be right because I see more threads on the #3 exhaust valve than the other 3 adjusters.
So I liked what it said about garaunteed to never drop a seat. But I don't know if that's just something standard on all new heads or what.

George took a minute to test #3. TDC probably dropped a seat, but he's got to finish the one he's working on before he can dig in

If it is a drpped seat does that mean the head is junk, or is that repairable?

Wow, thanks John!
After reading the first page I don't feel I need to read any more, nor do I think I will be buying anything from them.

as Steveo always says " the samba is your friend"

But only if you know how to work it.

I was thinking I should probably buy this to prevent a problem in the future.
Or is there some way I can do something with what I have for less?
I found original filler necks like this on the Samba, but they cost more and obviously were used.

[Baha (Shawn)]

I was going to tell you about that...

Go ahead and order that one.

Hey guys,
I wanted to let everyone know we finally started the bus Monday night. There's some bugs that need to be worked out before it can actually be driven, but I wanted to thank everyone that came over and helped, and everyone that helped along the way.
Thank You 

[Baha (Shawn)]

We worked on your bus????   


How long ago was that?

[grungeant (Anthony)]

George came over last night.
He said drive it!
