Wednesday’s Words

I spent the morning working with Donnie putting Pepe’s engine back together. I can no longer lean over the fenders to work on an engine so Donnie is the man. He has put hundreds of SBC together and can do it quickly. We spend about 3 hours putting the heads and the Inglese injection back together. Working on the injectors with the fuel rails in place is not easy with large hands. Removing the Sanderson headers also took some time due to the tight fit of the header bolts to the tubing. We made a wrench to remove the last two bolts. I will correct that problem when putting them back on. The little 5/16 header bolt heads want to round off with anything but a box end wrench. Yes, I have the Snap – On thin box end but it would not go over the head either. I often wonder why I use headers instead of rams horns!! I had to stop him as my new pushrod had not arrived at Hawaiian Racing. It showed up about 4:00 PM.

I am concerned about the EFI computer picking up with the same settings as I had before. Rick told me as long as the timing was set the same it should be O.K. I have no idea what the timing was set at so I will call Inglese tomorrow and find out what to set the timing at for this engine. Not rocket science but needs to be correct for everything to work as it did previously. We hope to have everything ready to turn the engine over tomorrow. I am saying my prayers that nothing else was hurt as a result of the blown head gasket. So far the damage has been minimal. The rebuild has taken too long due to the knee surgery and I hope I don’t have to pull the engine when I find another problem.

Lets look at some Hot Rods!

 

Stay Tooned!

Jake’s famous coupe still looks great after all these years. I remember the R&C article with Jake sawing the top with a wood tree saw.

Industrial Chassis does some nice work on the 34 chassis. A very traditional chassis with modern engineering employed

The center section is well engineered and strong.

  65. Instagram ucuz takipçi almak i?e yarar m??

    Her alanda oldu?u gibi Instagram takipçi alma
    seçenekleri aras?nda ucuz takipçiler sat?lmaktad?r,
    Maalesef ki ucuz takipçi size
    Takip2018de olabilmesi sizin profilinizi kirletmeyecek kadar olan paketler bulundurur.

    Kesinlikle sadece sat?? yapmak için ucuz takipçi satmamaktad?r.

    Bot takipçiler yada hemen dü?ecek takipçi bulundurmazlar.

    Sizin paran?z? çöp etmezler
