Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Another bad day in the trenches. Me and my old man wisdom wasted most of the day. All I had to do was degree the cam. What a comedy of errors, its going to be a difficult time facing myself in the mirror when I shave in the morning. Billy would not be proud.
After rubbing my head and patting my tummy I got'er done. Or did pat my head and rub my tummy? Who Knows Got to go supper is ready. Saved by the dinner bell! Last edited by Larry Hill; 06-19-2019 at 07:12 AM. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Assuming , you know what that does, we have good piston to valve clearance. I will check piston to valve clearance at all of the planned cam centerline pulls. It will be fun to see where power and torque moves withe the changes. I should be able install the rest of the pistons and rods tomorrow

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I agree Dyno. I have to pickup my new ring compressor for a 4.125 bore, drain valves to fit the block, and one more time to the bone yard for factory bolts. Plus a new windshield the old one is in a few pieces.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Aaron thanks for the link but I bought the AARP brand, they give a sizable senior discount. For those of us on a fixed income every penny counts. Ask your Dad he will tell you about it.
Jeff the stroke is different it's a 392, it's much smaller than the SBC |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Wow, I get the AARP magazine, but I've never seen ring compressors there.
