Just two months and two days after his heart attack "Old Henry" hit the road again tonight after major open heart surgery (engine rebuild) by the most excellent and compassionate Doc Roger. Am I happy? I can't tell you how much. I've been anxious ever since he went into the coma wondering if he was ever going to wake up and live again. Gotta put some easy miles on him in the next week before we head to Glacier/Waterton National Peace Park in 10 days.

I can tell by your tone how pleased you are!

Hope the break-in miles go smoothly.

My wife and I look forward to more tales of
your journeys .

Loving the picture without the hood! Congrats on the transplant. The photos and videos that follow the roadtrips are amazing.

One of the best things about old cars, when they break you can fix them and when you do it feels great.

Happy to know you are "On The Road Again" Professor! Larry

For the easy miles play Willie's "On The Road Again". Old Henry will like that. With the surgery complete he should be good for another 100,000 miles. It's good to hear you are both ready to roll.

Good to hear you're up and running again. Wayno

Glad he's back, heres some pictures of our ol'Henry. Packing to tour the Linclon Hiway a few years ago. The trip went perfect, have fun, Chuck S.

Cecil/WV · 06-07-2013, 06:58 AM

It's always a good feeling to hit the road again.

Marv · 06-07-2013, 08:22 AM

Im glad Old Henry got a new heart instead of just a bypass. LOL Marv

Henry/Kokomo · 06-07-2013, 08:49 AM

Glad to see 'Ol Henry is ambulatory again. Good luck and many more happy miles.

oldford2 · 06-07-2013, 08:53 AM

Good news Professor! Pass along some stats when you get them: oil pressure, water temp, 0 - 60mph, etc.

Oil pressure is about 40 psi after cold start then down to about 25 psi after warmed up. That's with the S.A.E. 30 oil. I've left the thermostats out for summer so the temperatures aren't up to 160° yet driving around town under 40 mph. Haven't tested violent acceleration yet. Am still taking it easy on the new rings and lifters.

Glad to hear you have you have old Henry back together. I know how it is not being able to hop in the old car and go for a ride. Enjoy.
