Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I have had 2 of those storms here one Thursday morning lasted 1 1/2 hours and then another one last night. I've got 8 trees down blocking driveway and paths around my property. The thunder and lightning was spectacular. I only had a 10 minute power outage. I love the South.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Our storm Thursday night only lasted 40 minutes and we still have people in the Little Rock area without power.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
By using the motor home this weekend we discovered the outside cooler died. Not cool
Hope to have short block done today. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Short block is assembled. Patsy will post pictures later. The deck has a slight slope to it. We will try to fix it when block needs to be resurfaced. Having the block like this is is costing me a little bit of compression, but being a Hemi newbe I will take it. I tighten the rod bolts to a stretch of .005 - .0054. I hope the picture of the NHRA pistons is clear.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
In the morning that head will be done!! That is assuming that we have proper piston to valve clearance at split overlap.
