I got to use a Buxton valve spring checker, Wow was it nice. A read out in thousands of an inch and lbs of force and a printout of each spring. Put in coil bind clearance and valve lash and it shows installed height. A really nice tool and it?s easy to use.
It?s almost 5:00 am so I better get to work. |

Taking a break. The block had its final cleaning. Cam bearings are installed. Sound track from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show " is playing, all is good! Solvent tank cleaned and refilled with fresh solvent. Supper tonight at the Fancy Farm picnic, where everything is home made and all proceeds go to the church.
Back to work New cam turns in the bearings, another good day of racing. Last edited by Larry Hill; 08-03-2024 at 05:00 PM. Reason: add stuff |

Tons of barbecue pork, mutton, and chicken and all the fixings ice tea included. This year was the 144th annual. We did not go, Patsy has a tough time standing in line. The fish was Friday.
Time to go to work. |

I think now we have a better than a coin flip chance to make Indy. The cam shaft passed my tech check with the new pushrods. New ring compressor worked well the anodized ones stop the aluminum shavings from getting into the engine. Running a little low on Luberplate 105 but we will make it. Crank and Camshaft end play is right in the center of spec.
A big tip of the cap to Militia products timing gear set it made the process of installing center line so much faster and very accurate. Another good day of racing |

SOT forgot to mark off stuff that was torqued on my list. Spent most of the morning dissembling only to find out it was torqued to spec and I forgot to check it off. Now I know.
And for my next SOT, drum roll please....................... |

Get yourself a red marker - when you torque something, mark it.
Takes the remembering out of the equation.
