Fallen Member of the SVT Family...on Sept. 11 (long)

NO SLO PK · 10-18-2001, 11:55 PM

First, thanks for the heartfelt replies. As I write this, I am stopping occasionally to gather my thoughts and sometimes clench my fist. We are responding to the attacks on Sept. 11, and we will prevail.

In the words of our good leader, the terrorists will be brought to justice, or justice will be brought to them.

Chris - the overheating problem still exists...honestly, I don't think I've driven the LX since my last post regarding that issue. I can't fix the problem just yet, since I suspect a minor rupture in a head gasket. I just received my Edelbrock heads from the machine shop - the heads received a performance valve job. I plan to install them in the coming month. That will ensure a fresh head gasket seal. I'll run the car then and see what happens. That will give me a baseline.
