Dumbo The Flying Elephant

[Larry Hill]

After years of doing business with Total Seal I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement in quality of their top rings. I was perfectly happy with the quality in past orders but now the quality appears to be in a different league.
Anywhere you look it shows quality and value. I hope they run half as good as they look. It will be fun to have an elephant with a top end charge!

Highs block is almost ready to check for leaks with the plates I made. New parts are on the way. Weekend is open to work on Dumbo. Lows 30 year old parts washer died. I think the new parts washer will last a lifetime.

What is your target date to get back out? Indy?

[Larry Hill]

As soon as everything is done and tested. Test day is next month I hope. For me it’s something’s can not be hurried.
On a progress report, the block passed with flying colors after I installed all of the plugs. No leeks. Thanks Jeff Taylor. New wash tank is working.
Still waiting on mains bearings and some springs.
Today is ring day all 64 of them.

Just spent $1,000 plus on two sets of springs and two sets of main bearings.

I must be crazy.
