Thanks for the update Ray, looking forward to some pix when you get the time.

As it always happens I was bragging to a plastic coach owner who has PES (Prevost Envy Syndrome) about my coach and showing him the well appointed bays. When we got to the engine it was messy with oil from the alternator seal, damm.

Kevin had the part which was a true blessing, then he had the 3/4" breaker bar, then he had the 1 5/16" socket, then a 24" adjustable wrench. Made a tool guy like me cry.

We changed the part with the help of 5 or 6 welcomed on-lookers and it was fixed, well almost. I left Monday and stopped about twenty miles into my trip only to see a small about of oil leaking. Cleaned up the oil and traveled 80 miles found the oil again. Being that I only had tools to mess with the six cap bolts I figured what do I have to lose. I found the bolts all exactly 1/3 turn loose? Tighten then firmly and drove about 80 more miles, maybe 1 drop under the alternator, probably left over from the leak. Cleaned it up and it has been dry ever since.

Stopped in front of the Holms residence and de-greased everything. Look better than new.

Thanks again Kevin,

Sorry for the delay. Most of the time I forgot to get my camera out, but I've got some pics from a couple of the events.

Kathy and I, Mike and Jean Simmon's went into the strip one afternoon. Pics below are from the new City Center shopping area, and hotel Aria. (water wall).

The ice sculptures were in the City Center shopping area.
