[TPR] Asa's Thursday update Aug 9

[asajay at asajay.com]

I used all new seals, bearings, rings and gaskets on the new engine,  
yes.  The old engine won't get a new seal for some time, but I'm not  
worried about that.  And yes, I installed the rear main correctly.

On the radiator tanks?  Yea, I think the same thing, sourced from  
overseas maybe.  :)
