The Bucket is heading to El Paso
I spoke with Brian today and the Bucket will be heading to his shop for a freshen up and dyno time on the engine. Hopefully, it will only be new rings, gaskets and bearings. The Bucket is back on the road to recovery.
THANKS Brian.

Loooooong story. The short version is that a shop did some work on it, forgot to tighten some intake bolts and the cylinders got a boat load of coolant dumped into them.

We are hoping everything else is fine. The car fell off after the 1/8 and I just parked the car until I could figure out what was wrong.
