I bet they completely rebuilt except for rings and bearings. we use that saying all the time thought it would good time to say it here.
One of the other favorites is, I don't understand what happened it was running good till the engine blew up. Another one is when some one sees a car that got ragged out and they say I bet that was a nice car at one time. we say nope it came out brand new like that. how many problems are we supposed to find from picture? Only thing I spot instantly is with mobile homes in back ground they are in danger of tornado hitting them. Only thing I saw was intake gaskets on table with intake on but they could've been extras and #6 intake valve guide looks a little loose. Mike Taylor3601 |

Well we were actually just in amazement that the intake is totally open, and they are working on the engine OUTSIDE!!!
Also the can of spray paint with the engine open was also a bit concerning.. the front is totally open with the timing cover off.. LETS PAINT... LOL |

Surgically clean egine building room. A little wind blown sand should help seal the rings. No covering carb hole on intake is a good place to drop bolts into also. Ive seen worse, like popup psitons installed upside down. Heads dont fit too well like that. One thing I will say for them is when someone asks them a question about the motor the answer wont start with "well my engine builder said ".

much much cleaner setup than my last 14 NHRA teardowns...
and im betting my investment was bigger in the bullet. hey at least someone is still working on thier own stuff in thier own garage...that is a days gone by situation... hell most all nhra stockers are built by a "pro cheater" and shipped. captain jack and yes need 20-30 empty beer cans to complete the picture

That is about the same thing that we were thinking... as engine builders our selves, we gasped..lol we immediatly start thinking about how to get the dirt out of it... lol
Yes, they may be able to tell you about the motor, but I know this group personally, and WOW!! I will be surprised if this engine runs.. they ask".. What do you mean I have to PRIME IT?..." Quote:
