Today when I got home from school dad tells me the 285 is getting an overhaul at the local dealer. Right now the shop is kinda slow so they have a deal going on with their labor charges for the month of February so we'll be getting a little knocked off the top. We were talking about it about 2-3 weeks ago that the 285 is starting to slobber, is hard to start in anything close to freezing, and leaks from the head gasket down the side of the block. I said I'd be happy to rebuild it for him but we just don't have a shed to park it in and tear down an engine for a rebuild. Some time it's definatly going to need paint though.

It sure will look good once it's painted up next to my 1600 my brother painted and I rebuilt, and the 1855 we bought already overhauled and painted.
