Re: The SILVER INDIAN: '61 Apache Stepside, 5th Wheel Hauler in Brighton, England.
Well another day done trying to repair other people's pore repairs.
Inlet manifold off then to find loose bolts every where, Gasket sealant in places it really shouldn't be. No thermostat either, Time for good degrease and clean then refit all the bits. |
