Thanks, when I removed all the paint and putty from the tank it looked like some one took a hammer to it . I had a hard time getting it straight, then the paint wouldn't stick to the metal. But I finally got it to look good. the mechanical work went much better, I put around 200 miles on since finished with no issues. though the silver paint on the engine head is turning amber from the heat, I think its the clear coat, probably paint it black.
