I'm usually out riding when it starts to rain. Never fails.

It rained twice today, so I pulled the rear tire off the gl1000 (went flat twice) and decided to replace the rear & front tire , - both were 2003 models. Also ordered front & rear brake pads because the back ones were almost to the metal. Bike will set until parts get here next weekend.

If at home, wish it would stop! Out on the road, ride!

I ain't been able to ride in two weeks, due to rain/tornadoes, etc. :crying: SO...instead of sitting around, I decided, after 10 years, to tear into my 'Burban, and get it running on all 8 again. :lazy:
It's developed a dead cylinder a loooong time ago, so I just parked it....cause I'm too lazy to mess with stuff like that at home. But, since the new laws in Texas require a vehicle to pass a State inspection before getting it registered, I figured I better get off me lazy a :sensored: and fix it. Pulled the driver side head off yesterday, and sure enough, dang exhaust valve on #7 was flopping around. Valve guide is so worn out that compression was coming up past the stem, and blowing into the valve cover. Beat the seat right out of the head, and burned the crap outta the valve. Head is not repairable....nor would I want it back. So...now I get to buy another head/gaskets, and slap this turd back together....after I drill/extract 2 broken head bolts out of the block.... :rant: :sensored: :head bang:

A little back story. I put this engine in this truck back in 2003. The truck had just a smidge over 100,000 miles on it. It now has 29,000 on this engine. POS from day one. I knew I shoulda just built the dang thing meself, but at the time, I needed it done quickly, so I bought a long block from a local engine shop, even tho I knew from experience it was a crap shoot.
And crap it was.... :builder:

That's a shame on the engine life, I have about 225k on my '91 and it just passed the last emission test of its' life. Good luck!
