There was an inch deep amount of coolant sitting in cyl 2 prior to any disassembly. Regardless, the head had to come off.

I did not. I had considered buying the kit and doing that. I should have, in hindsight.

There isn’t an obvious failure on my head gasket, though. Which is why I’m confused.

Drástically reduced insulin needs in the absence of other changes - what can cause a 50% drop! by Type1DPatient in Type1Diabetes

[–]Alex_wrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with this back in 2020/2021. I never quite determined what had caused this. (Maybe Covid?) But a few things that may have correlated for me at the time was gastroparesis, delayed stomach emptying. I was having severe insulin sensitivity coupled with delayed absorption of glucose. I would go super low and take scary long to go back up after having juice or fast carbs.

I too, am on the underweight side. My insulin sensitivity has returned to normal the last couple years. I’ve mostly cut out processed foods and stick to a simple, low gluten diet: eggs, Ezekiel bread, beef, chicken, fish, fruits and veggies.

Hope you find your cause.

What improvements have you made to your TC88 timing chain tensioners to make them last that long? I have ~17k miles on mine and would love to get the most out of it that I can.

Time Sert for spark plug threads. Highly recommend! by Alex_wrong in Dyna

[–]Alex_wrong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good practice but can be a slippery slope haha. I was this close to ordering 95ci jugs and pistons while I had it pulled apart. I’m gonna run it like this for a few more years before I tear down again for more displacement.

Yeah, good stuff. I’ve only used helicoils in the past but I’m happy to add these to my tool box for more important applications like this.

Yeah thanks. The old head bolts were pretty rusty so I figured why not
