I really like this little truck. It's cool that you broke it out of its nineties spiral, haha. BTW, not to get personal but since you mentioned it above, congrats on spending less money at the bar and quitting smoking. That's not easy to do.

That intake gasket is crazy. I'm betting that they did some machining during the engine rebuild that opened the gap between the intake and heads just a little. Hopefully a thicker gasket of a better material solved that problem. Any other updates?
