I pulled the head off on my 8 a few weeks ago, decided it probably was the rings after the shop did a leak down test on the heads...
Called Woody and got the parts minus the rings which I had to call Ted for. SO my car is sitting in my garage heads off...
Saturday my daugter calls me from her mom's house because her Jetta is making a funny noise so she shut it down and I came, put it on the computer and it said miss fire on all cylinders.... off to the shop using AAA, but my membership expired 10 days ago so I resigned and it is off. I am sure it will be costly.
Son is home from VMI. We shared rides with a family a few miles away so I was taking them back and got stuck on 81 for 3 hours, did not get home last night until 3 am. Had an important meeting at 730 I could not meet so I got three hours of sleep.
Daughter is still off for Easter still can she was leaving for track(In my truck) she notice water dripping into the Triumph from the ceiling. She calls afer turning the water off in the house. I get home the water heater was toast, it not only broke, dripped in between the walls and soaked part of the new carpet in my daugters room..... but wait for it...
It leaked into my garage (basement type) and formed two small streams, on into the open top of my eight, the other into my headless engine. My engine is literally filled with water...
oh well , it was a beautiful day yesterday, was fun spending time with my son and his brother rats, even if stuck in traffic, on the way home alone I got to listen to Sirius Radio classics which made the time fly, my daughter was smart enough not to drive her car and smart enought to remember where the water shut off was to prevent anymore damage...
