Ralphie, thanks for rubbing salt in my wounds from not making the trip. I am glad that everyone had a great time and there was no mention of any "good driving awards" so I guess the usual reprobates must have behaved themselves. Found the culprit of my troubles is nothing more than some poor workmanship in the installation of my intake gaskets. I have a crate engine from some supposed NASCAR engine builder back East, who's no longer in business. duh. Pulled the heads, fearing the worse but now, I just need to do some clean up and bolt stuff back together after my gaskets arrive. Oh well, stuff happens.
