those heaters can be had for cheap if you find one that doesnt work. they are simple and cheap to fix but people dont want to put in the work. i got a 150k kero for 50 bucks and all it needed was a new cord and a filter. its much nicer working on your car when you can feel your fingers.

ya i had to fly solo today with pulling the motor but it is nicer to work by yourself u seem to get more done.
ya ill keep that in mind i was also thinking of puting a wood burner in the barn also a bit more expansive but cheaper in the long run
so today i got the rear head off and got all the engine mount unbolted and rdy to pull
got the hoiest hook up and trying to pull here out but she did want to give it up lol
out finaly
now i have a nice big hole it clean up
i got the 3.8 on the stand and i started looking it over
looky what i found, looks like metal burnt to the piston {middle one in the back}
so thats it for today im goin to try and relax for the rest of that day.
thanks for your support

Yes, they say the middle rear cylinder, #4, is the hottest because that part of the engine doesn't get cooled as well as the rest. Air flows around the front of the engine and around the sides, but #4 gets no love.
