[TPR] Asa's Sunday update Aug 19

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Initial start has been delayed.  Shelley made some dinner arrangements 
at a friends house so I had to finish early.  Start celebration will 
have to wait until tomorrow.

Everything is done and the drill is waiting to prime the pump.  All I 
have to do is hook up the battery, prime it, stuff the distributor and 
start it up.

One item that may prove to be a problem.

I used this "resealable" gasket on the water neck"

It looks like it -may- be seeping a bit of coolant (either that or it's 
sweating in this 90*+ heat).  So I may end up removing it and replacing 
with a standard gasket and sealing goop.  The only thing I can figure is 
that the water neck plate has a slight bow to it, and this gasket 
doesn't really crush, so sealant may be necessary.

All else is looking good.
