That's Alright Mama

 

I got the cylinder head delivered to the machinist, so that's alright with me. He said he'll see what it needs and call me at the end of this week or next week. I ordered the gasket set, oil filter and a few other things - they should be in next week. I went shopping yesterday and got the oil and anti-freeze, along with a new fan belt and some orange engine enamel. I painted the valve cover later in the day.

 The radiator shell needs a good cleaning and a small weld repair. The radiator itself needs to have the leak(s) repaired and then the fan shroud reattached. However, I'm fairly certain at least one of the leaks is coming from an area that's down in the right corner hidden by the shroud and as you can see in the photo, the shroud has come loose on the bottom left. I'm going to get the dirt and grease cleaned up today and come up with a plan of attack.

Once I get the radiator repaired, I can get back on the motorcycle projects as well as the list of things to tackle around the shack.
