Well Inga for sure has a small Coolant leak on the exhaust manifold side. The leak is actually near cylinder #2 and it runs down the side and leaks out near plug 3.

I have to use half a years vacation before the start of Q2 this year so have lots of time to tear Inga down and get this done right.

Going to have the head checked and milled, the valves ground, and put in all new seals. Going to install new bolts, those are cheap.

Any input on going with the set of gaskets from Tasca, IPD, or FCP?

Any machine shop references in the Houston area?

Any special tools needed?

Any tricks or gotchas to look out for?

Thanks and Regards,

Paul
