At least everthing on the Herald was woring well enough to pass the safety inspection and get back on the road :thumbsup:
The old inspection sticker expired in 2008. Then the newly rebuilt head started causing problems and I discovered an old, repaired crack in the head, so off with the old head and on with a brand new fresh from Mr. Stan Parts never touched casting. Only problem was that it was for a 1500 engine and I have a 1290. Took allot of machining to get the compression ratio right.
So now for the first time since I bought it, the engine seems to be just right, the gear boxs shift properly, the chassis isn't loose and wobbly.. to bad the paint is all falling off. but who cares it is just about perfect driving season here.
