[joedrum]

well today its time to test for valve clearance in cutouts of piston ...the heads are mounted with old gaskets ...fixing to time with old belts and test it .....after this if it passes test its on its way back together its been quite the battle but the big mod stuff seems to be ending and time to zip things up :mrgreen:

ok notice the up mark on this one one is down :shock: this is 180 timed off .... :headscratch: I had to changed it

anyway the valve cutouts all worked ...so now it time to go the other way a start zipping things up :clapping: always good to get to this point :mrgreen:

Looking good so far. Pristine heads on what used to be a neglected motor. I can't wait to watch the rest of the build.

Dangit Joe! :rant:


Take it easy a few days.
We need our host feeling good at the meet.

 

[backlander]

Yeah, you need to lay up for awhile and let your bod catch up with your work ethic. I know it ain't easy but sometimes you just got to do it.

 

[joedrum]

okay im startimg to get back some energy ....and I have gotten the small stuff needed to put heads back on ... :music:

 

[backlander]

:whip: :whip: Glad your feeling better joe :builder: :builder:

 

[Ansimp]

+1 to the energy :good:

 

[joedrum]

started back on dresser today took heads off and now final cleaning before heads ...sheesh looks like a day to get it done good the last of the glaze is always the hardest ....al you have to do is turn crank every once in awhile ...when your closr like this all high spots will be scrubed by rings and easily seen to show where rings are stil bumping over ....eventually you wont see anything ...and as things get close the motor turns easier and easier all the time ...so the last part is the hardest to hang in there on pics tomorrow im sure ..sheesh it was hot but handle it well yea for me :clapping:

 

[backlander]

Getting closer. Won't be too long now. Good to hear your getting back up to speed. :good:

 

[1burthabutt]

[joedrum]
