The CSX: September 22, 1999

Well, the weekly strife with this car continues.  Monday it barfed out the block core plug behind starter...it had rusted out from the inside.  I replaced it with a expanding rubber core plug (Expand-Tite), which seems to be holding.  The next plug down has some evidence of a very slow leak.  Looks like that one is next.

The piston slap is slowly getting worse.  I think I should start thinking seriously about building-up a new, solid bottom end for this thing.  No screwing around this time....  *sigh*
