Hi guys so I've hatched a bit of a plan here and then I wanted to get your input on. Keep in mind that even if it turns out to be a stupid idea I will probably still do it, so those of you that know me may need to moderate your expectations. Ha.
I am in the process of buying a 66 Cooper with 1275 an event will be from rebuild for who I am to Oregon to pick it up. I will then be driving, with my significant other mind you, down the Oregon and California coast back to Southern California. The car itself will have been professionally reviewed by a Mini specialist but the engine will still be tight and run in for the first time on the trip.
it will end up being about a 1200 mile drive back home, and I think that means I'm probably going to need to re-torque the head as part of my roadside maintenance.
Any tips or ideas or warnings for me? Thanks!
