    Question about cleaning gasket surfaces on heads and block

    poll: what should i do with my interior?

    thanks 93, now i'll be able to set it up myself. lack of foresight i guess. anyhow i pm'd daggar to see if he could set a poll up for my crappy thread. it's probably one of those things that's just doomed since conception, lol pics are more than welcome in this case!

    poll: what should i do with my interior?
