Larry,
The level of "Blueprinting" in this engine is nothing short of amazing. I hope it brings you the FS/D class Wally once again. Frank |

Mr Vic stuff is Bullet fast and the car is a work of art. To have a chance I’ll need everything I can get. And if I try to go to Super Stock that Patterson young man is way fast. Both Chevys run killer MPH.

Best laid plans of men and mice. Long story short it blew up in my face. Maybe a 50% weekend

The 60mm cam uses straight roller cam bearings that have positive stop location. I don?t know the difference in expansion rates if any between brass and aluminum. I would hate to guess wrong and turn something loose during a pull.

I had two torque wrenches checked today. The Snap-on checked rite on throughout the range. With the non Snap-on wrench, the higher the torque setting the greater the error. The error was almost 10%. Was it enough to pull the threads out of the block? I don't know.

Back in the swing of things 4 to 8hours a day on getting Dumbo better. Most of the grandpa stuff is done until fall. It feels kind of good.
Tomorrow is miles to go before I sleep. |

Busy day yesterday. Drop some stuff off, went to new places, met some new people, visited with old friends, picked up bad parts, and got some new tools to try. 422miles in six states. The great part was the time alone with the radio off thinking of ways to improve our racing program. Sometimes I would pull off on an exit to write something down so I would not forget.

Beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, you guessed it, it's another train. When I tested the strength of my repair by torqueing the cap down to specifications the other outer stud threads pulled out. The repaired stud took the torque and felt solid. So now I'm installing the repairs to the remaining five short outer stud holes.
