My Dad was around this weekend, so I put him to work for a little bit. Shocking what he'll do from some free beer! We snatched the motor out so I can get cooking. Hard to believe he and I have been doing this for over 40 years.
Started busting the motor down today and getting ready for the machine shop. The bores measure out at .030 over and still appear to have a good cross hatch. Dummy me neglected to take a pic or two of the bores........ yuck........ Not surprised how this looks This wouldn't bother me if it was on cylinder 6, not #8 Nice original F.I. exhaust manifolds Now, climb the mountain of parts to clean........ |

I sent the F.I. unit out to a fellow by the name of Ken Hansen in TN. He hot tests, dyno's, and road tests the units on a mule car. Everything is set up for monitoring A/F ratio's on the car. I've ridden my sled once this year for not even 5 miles. Not much snow (at least for me). Normally.......Dad, Tracey and I would have been out on the sleds this time of year. Now we are just relegated to beers and BS. |

Tim, I'm sure you know this but it bears repeating. A recent post on the NCRS site from a Dallas member shows before and after shot of his engine after the rebuilder screwed up and decked the block. This happened last October after he made sure the shop knew not to deck the block. Get them to confirm that they will not deck that block under any circumstances.
