Sue and Lee are super nice folks, and I'm glad I could help out.  I'm confident they will get it fixed and make it up to MMW and back home!

I just talked to Lee a few minutes ago.  Problems with the tow company have them in Cloverdale awaiting a second tow, but they hope to get farther up the road tonight, and then Sue's brother will come down from Eureka and tow them on up there.

 

Craig, Lee is very, very grateful for your help.  And amazed at the support system that Spank has activated.

What a great group of enthusiast! Nice to see everyone pitching in and giving the support. We'll hope to see them at MMW2015 with no more drama along the way.. ..

They just left my house with a new head gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, a spare head in case theirs has an major issues, and front brake pads.  They were planning to stay in Crescent City for a few days at her brother's house, and he owns an auto repair shop, so they decided to use their AAA+ and have the car towed up there rather than replace the head gasket at my house, end up staying the night in Santa Rosa, etc.  I did a leak down test, and cylinders 1 & 2 have zero compression.  No coolant loss.   #s 3 and 4 were good.

I hope the rest of their journey is less eventful!

Some SanDiego Friends who are driving their 67S to MMW along hwy 1 found they are in need of a head gasket and intake manifold gasket. if you can help or open to offering suggestions, call them immediately. Cel is [phone number deleted. Thanks for the outpouring of offers for help!]

I'm stuck in MD with family stuff so can offer no help beyond this post.

 

thanks
