I just had my tank refurbished at a place in Fort Worth 
called Metal rehabilitation.  They advertise in 
Hemmings.  It is like new.  You should have seen it 
before.  It was full of rust and smelly 30 year old 
gas.  There is what appears to be a patch on the front 
of the tank.  It is pop welded on like it came from the 
factory that way.  Is that so?  One unfortunate thing 
that happened during the refurbishing process is that 
the baffle came loose.  I guess the rust was all that 
was holding it on.  Now I'm going to have to cut the 
tank to re-weld the baffle.  Are there any other 
suggestions or experiences that may help me?  I also 
have a very regular hollow knock that appears to be 
coming from the #1 piston pin.  Can I get the piston out 
from the bottom or am I going to have to pull the head?
