[DeTomaso] Asa Jay's 1985 built 351C Forensics part II

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Sorry, minor correction here.  John Taphorn is the person who 
spotted/suggested the idea of corrosion between cylinder 1 and 2.  
Initially he saw the dark wet looking spot and postulated it might have 
been a coolant leak.  I am still a bit perplexed at how it manifested 
and will continue to examine it more closely (magnifying glass maybe).

But I wanted to give credit where due.  Thank you to John Taphorn for 
spotting this anomaly.
