Yep, it was the head gasket. In fact the head gasket was flawed in two places. One was on top of the gasket causing the wetness on the head bolt. The other was on the bottom of the gasket causing pressure buildup in the coolant system. The best part was that it was a simple job. I'm so relieved and thanks for the point in the right direction. Running great now!


mbg75...Nice ride. You and wicked sure got me thinking about going BIG. Where did you find the plow for your scrammy? sure would make things easy on me in the winter. I'm going in the morning to get surgery for a hernia that I blame partly on shoveling snow. I'm calling it my speed bump on the way to trikefest :o
