Patsy lamented that fixing between my ears is a lost cause.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Assembling is easy it's getting all the parts to like each other is the time consuming part.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I enjoy the documentation part of the build. Checking piston to valve clearance at different installed C/L. Sometimes moving the crank sprocket to a different Advance or Retard does not show up as advertised on paper.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
A weekend off from being a grandpa. I get to work on my stuff. First thing is finalizing my disassembly notes, I failed to do that last time and it almost cost me an unplanned disassembly.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
During the mock up portion of the build I always give myself an NHRA tear down. Placement of the indicator observing straight, perpendicular, and parallel is very important to have the lift check correctly.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I bought this nicely done engine part and it gave me some flexibility in tuning. I installed it but couldn't get it to repeat. Even the face runout would not repeat. I checked everything and everything checked good. Long story short, the dowel pin was protruding out far enough to make the hold down bolt washer apply in uneven force to the cam gear causing the runout to be everywhere.
A lot of times the parts are smarter than me. Last edited by Larry Hill; 06-01-2024 at 07:46 PM. |
