<span style='font-size: 14pt'> </span> After sitting on my lift without so much as wrench put to her for the last two months, I actually did a very small amount of work to old TS1203LO.
I took it off of the lift since I will need it to do some brake work on my F-150 tonite.
Then I cleaned the rust and scale from the engine's water jackets where the sleeves are removed. I also found out that the radiator harbors much of the brown stuff, too. I will probably flush that out before I reassemble the engine.
My night was shortened by some heavy weather that came through our town last night. I rolled the TR back into my shop...I had hoped to get my truck on the lift last night and store the TR under it.
Tonite is another night...brake pads and machined rotors will be the order of the day for tonite on the truck. then it's back to work on the TR.
One thing that's sooooo nice about this car is all of the nuts, bolts and fittings come apart with virtually no problem...it's West Coast heritage is evident.
