Since I wrote the page, I take small exception to your comments :-) I've had reasonable success with EZouts. That said, I am very careful when I use them, consider them a tool of last resort, and ha

Good straightedge (steel ruler) and feeler gauge. Lay the thin edge of the straightedge across the diagonal of the block/head, and try to slide the feeler gauge under (or look for light gaps). Then

I think that the telescoping sets are really hard to use repeatably, especially when trying to do measurements to a tenth (0.0001"). You might want to borrow a set and see - or buy a cheap set and se

OK, since we're talking about pumps ... How do I go about draining and refilling the system, in particular the pressure tank? I'm assuming that the tank is basically empty, the air pocket at the top

The blueboard helps keep your feet (or back, when you're lying down) from getting quite so cold in the winter. Sorry, I don't remember what thickness for the vapor barrier; someone else will pipe up,
