[AJD] 35 D Runs Again!, but

[Gary Epps]

Dee, I really like the sound of a gasket problem better.  I am planning on
checking that out first.  I picked up a new torque wrench and plan on
re-torqueing the head bolts first.  The water valve appears to be closed.  I
haven't taken it apart other than to see if the check valve is working.  It
is.
