Find a nice mountain road and blow it out  !

Well, The nearest mountain is 150 miles east of here.  You see Bath,  OH is 
located at the beginnings of the foothills of the Allegheny Mountain  Range.  
West is the beginnings of the Great Plains. I do live on the  western ridge of 
the Cuyahoga River Valley so we have a few hills but they are  quite short.  
Since the head is off of the 3B, not a practical solution  anyway.  My trusty 
Haynes Manual gives detailed instructions so I guess I  have a weekend project. 
 
For all Listers, if you could see the amount of carbon build up on the top  
of Pistons on motors that have been run a few miles I would say you would all 
be  saying "Off with her Head."
 
Cheers,
Darrell
