Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
A roadmap for the electricity to follow. Look at all the pretty colors and boxes of stuff. Bob Toy is doing the electrical work 'cause it's way above my pay grade.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
It's crank time. Its the first time I ever had all new stuff. Measure crank and check size of bearings with bore gage and get the magic number of clearance
I made a mistake on pin sizes, 2.1245 should be 2.0995. I only missed the size by one revolution. Measure twice cut once. According to the rulebook its only a "Stupid Old Man Trick" if it cost extra money or turns your face red Last edited by Larry Hill; 01-10-2020 at 01:16 PM. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I like the attention to the true definition of "Blueprinted and balanced."
Bravo Mr. Larry and good luck with Dumbo the Flying Elephant! |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Test fitting today of pickup and oil pan. One of the pickups is missing the screen. Thank goodness I still have some of Patsy's stainless steel strainer to cover the end of the pickup. Maybe I will get some pistons assigned and rings gapped. That should use up most of the day.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
P W clearance has to be adjusted. We will be at Jeff Taylor's shop Thursday A.M. to put two thirds the thickness of a hair more clearance in the engine. I will pick up some Nord's Bakery gems to nibble on during the process. I like the idea of using a profilometer to ensure surface finish.
