True enough. Would not want to do that outdoors down there come summer.

If I had time and parts, that is no problem this week. 70s all week
and sunny. If you would go 1700 miles due south, you'd be warmer too.

Special message to Max and anyone else who has recently BTDT:
Looks like I get to change my first OM 603 head gasket. SDL has oil
smoke, and oil running out the exhaust. Turbo compressed air outlet
to the crossover pipe is clean as a whistle, so no turbo failure.
So, I need the obvious:
head gasket kit
head bolts (or carefully measure stretch)
valve seals
turbo seal kit if not included in the head set (orings for drain,
gasket for supply)
Injector nozzle heat shields (if not in head kit)
Hose and a plastic bag to seal up nozzle holders and DV unions in
lieu of a dozen capplugs of the right size.
Things that I probably don't need as they are recent:
valve cover gasket
injector line clips
Timing chain and guides
Things I may need:
17 head or 22 head (have one in Boston. Just need to get it west)
Anything I am missing on these three lists?
Any special tools needed aside from the special socket for the head
bolts?
I may be taking the head off Fri or Sat. I won't get it back on
until Christmas time.
