Update:
Got her home and still couldn't find a shop or mobile mechanic??? Wound up replacing the heads in my driveway. I replaced every fuel line and coolant hose that I came acroos and replaced the main and rod bearings just for good meassure. Lots of curse words later she is up and running, in fact she started on the first crank. I also replaced the genset blower as it was working only whenever it wanted, and rebuilt the electric compressor, just because. And just for kicks I removed the absolutley gigantic muffler and straight piped her (sounds beautifull, can't wait to hear her on the Jake).
Two issues still need to be adrressed; the shut down does't shut down, I have to reach in past the hot pipes and manually pull the shut down lever and the Jake brakes don't work. Both worked before I replaced the heads. Any thoughts on these issues???
Also I bought some new cylinder head temp alarms and low oil pressure alarms for extra insurance. Can anyone tell me where the those extra wires go, the ones in the rear control panel? ( thank you Newell)
