Yep, talked to him Tuesday and Talked to him Today.

Ran into a minor snag, I believe he'll be there tomorrow. And it should be out. Will only take a couple hours to get inside n figure out whats goin on.

:shrug:

Well... Makin progress. Figured I'd just update this area (even though I told most of ya @ the show saturday).


Block was torn into 2 weeks ago. Talked to him last week (Wednesday).

Thinking clutch was adjusted too tight and pushing forward on everything bottom end. Took out the Thrust bearing. Crank was sent to Minneapolis (Crankshaft Supply) to be welded, ground, and polished. Three cylinders/pistons were scored. Block was being steam cleaned last Tuesday and the bore was going to be checked in the 3 cylinders to see if they were tight clearance and can be honed or if the whole block will need to be bored.. (again... already .30 over).

Heads. The valves had started sinking into the heads. Valve guides were worn. Those have been replaced. Having hardened seats put in.

One piece at a time.

too much horse power!!

Got word today. Block checked out fine! was able to take out the scoring in 3 cylinders.

3 new pistons were supposed to be here this week but didn't show.. He's going to call them monday and see wtf is up w/ that.. Once they are in.. They have to check the weight (since the other 5 pistons are all balanced...). If they'll work out.. He'll use those.. It's possible I still may need to order 8 new pistons. *sigh* the battle continues.

Woo! Progress though! I saw your stuff again on Wednesday.. Its itching to get back to its home
