Thanks for all the advise over the phone Thursday night.  You were on the money about losing oil though the screw hole that holds on the thermostat wheel.  I rechecked the timing and it was off a few degrees.  I also pulled the fins out on Saturday just in case.  I hope everything goes well Wednesday and that you get well soon.  We will miss your presence!

You are very welcome. Ain't it grand when things are that simple.
    My medic says that I might even get dangerous after all is said and done. Thanks for your thoughts. By the way,where did you get that X-ray of my body ? :lol:  :lol:

You talking about the wheel that the wire from the thermostat rides on going up to the air flaps?  I had no idea that the hole for the bolt goes all the way into the case, which, if not tightened all the way, would cause a leak...?

Neptune still in Ringgold?

After long drives I was getting alot of oil on the heater boxes and a few places here and there.  David told me about the bolt hole for the Thermostat wheel and sure enough it was wide open.  No leaks now.  

Neptune is still in Ringgold, but Friday night he will be heading to his new home in Gainesville, FL.  Mike is very excited about Neptune and sounds like he plans to up keep his originality.  We may see Mike, Erin, and Neptune in the future.  Hopefully Dead of Winter Campout.  Now I just need to hurry up and get the brakes fixed on Mack.
