Sandy Cameron :   Lets face it ---the gasket is the curse of Rabbits.

Turbo ? ----I learned from Loren that pulling the small line from the intake manifold
if you have an LDA does wonders to lower cylinder pressure.

So do that first thing.  Then reduce fueling to minimum   --and LIMP on to
Spring time.     

I am the absolute  master wizard when it comes to keeping a 5.7 V8  GM  Rocket
going.   Cracks between valves let coolant in to cylinders when parked.

Overnight ?   I took an old hot water tank and used it a a vacuum tank---
hooked it up to a small aircrompressor intake.    No water in cylinder in the morning.
Top that one if you can.

Go for 3 notches  ---that will lover pressure.    ---use other means to start when cold .

How did I hook up vacuum to 5.7 ?    of all things I used a Landrover  fitting in rad hose line LOL.
I think is was a heater connecting hose.   BUT it worked.

Then I got snared by a Rabbit.
