    Jana gets to drive the new Mercury Mariner, I get the used 05 Ford Escape (both basically the same vehicle). And I have an 02 Ddoge 1500 Ram PU in the business name. We have been very pleased with the Escape/Mariner vehicles since we bought a 2000 Escape for our daughters college graduation present. She still has it with 190,000 miles.

    All that work just for a few cold beers...seems logical to me!

    OMG...panic, panic, panic! I feel so violated and abused. I think I will go play with my dogs.:178::178::178:

    I thought about just the O ring, but I was concerned that it would be cut by the edge of the aluminum head and maybe leak some time in the future. The crush washer affords protection from the O ring seating on the head.

    I can testify that this will be the last one you will need if you use the O ring. Ponch and I talked about it (his idea) and I installed it Thursday and it worked great. I already ruined two crush washers trying to get the seal, but they always deformed. The O ring acts as additional seal. I warmed Sylvester up to 210 degrees, shut him down, let him cool down some and restarted. No leak at all! Made me feel like a mekanik!

    I need something that balances first and seals second. The dyna beads are well spoken of and balance very well when used properly. I have 116,000 miles with no punctures, so I don't have the urgency to use a sealer, but if it works well as a balancer (with no wheel weights) then that is a plus.

    Cougar, You can get them with an 18mm anti foul adapter or with an 18mm spark plug with the straight threads.

    But does it balance the tire, like the ad states? Since I will be installing two new tires soon, I am torn between Dyna Beads and Ride On.

    I want to change the color of my black seats and back rest to a tan. There are companies that gaurantee that their color works. I don't want to remove the chrome dots (too much hassle to take off and put back on) , so do you think the dye will come off the chrome after it dries.

    I always thought that they were a great idea. My friend had one on his 2000 Venture and moved it to his 06. I am surprised nobody started making something similar. Now that Ponch has the three gauge upgrade, I no longer need the pod.

    Exactly why I use Gerbing heated gloves. Grip heaters are only for cool weather not cold weather.

    I have re-read the thread and also believe that words were said in jest (everybody has a different sense of humor) and never meant as insults. I have a quick temper and have often taken humor as insult. I hope you stay with us, Oldgoat, this is a truly great site and you will be sorely missed.

    Thanks guys, Your replies remind me of the junk mail I get everyday! I would gladly pay more, but Freebird has seen fit to fund this operation until he gets a stimulus from our government or...winds up in abject poverty. Looking forward to another year of great ideas and tech information!
  16. Sylvester
    Thanks for your suggestion and it worked great.

    I know it is time to pay up or get out, and I have no intentions of getting out. So, how do I pay? I need to get the dues paid before Obama Care has all my financial records and dis-allows my deduction for VR as "mental health" care.:whistling: Just the idea for the cassette gauges and Ponch's great kit was worth five years dues.

    Sad situation . It won't be long before my beloved 02 falls into this crack. I am doing most all the work on it now, so if I am not too old to turn a wrench then I will keep it going.

    I would love to take Sylvester out for some exercise, but I am trying to get the leak stopped at the #4 head where I installed the temp probe for the gauge. And I am waiting for the GE repairman to fix our oven. Maybe tomorrow!

    I don't really know since I had to have a new speedometer cluster installed at 59,000 miles and still under warranty. I have 56,000 miles on the new cluster.

    Several years ago, I bought a set of "chromed flat levers" from J. C. Whitney that fit the Venture. I was amazed at how comfortable they were and still are. Just an idea.

    It is amazing what sticks in the back of your mind. I got 25 and I am very impressed with that, since I skipped school a lot.

    All the new Indian motorcycles have a 105 CI engine. This is not a proprietory engine but made by Indian.

    Your fourth picture is the same color bike I rode, Yama Mama. I have pictures but I haven't downloaded them yet since I can't find my data cable.

    It works for me! Just visited their site.
