Although I didn't even think of Westpark since it is right there, thanks! I will have to ask her what she thinks since it is so close to Lakewood anyways and see if there are any great deals!

Well the old motor was taken apart and is ready to be pulled tomorrow morning.
My dad got a new seal/gasket kit, with a new rear main, front main, oil pan, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, valve cover, throttle body, water pump gaskets and I think that all of them, as well as a new belt, plugs, wires, water pump and thermostat for it, so my bill is slowly adding up but the parts are all at his cost which is not very much compared to what I would pay for them, and they are preventative things to keep it reliable and running forever!
Also the PO put a new radiator in a week before the overheating, so that one is being tested to make sure its okay to be put back in

I seen that one, I guess I can call see if he wants a bike that needs some work!
And I assume he means on the passengers side.

If you know a good welder that will be a very easy fix, if that is truly all it needs.
