Good catch on that rod bearing!!
More welding today, had a hell of a time trying to get a puddle started today, every time I tried to add filler, it would just ball up .
So after 2 hours of farting around with my torch cooler (redneck tile saw pump 5 gallon bucket)
I sat back down and tried again, I was able to get some welding done, equal amount on both sides, I think it's close to 3/4 inch deep now...1/2 inch to go and I will have enough to port a true taper.
So sorry if this offends any of you trained or certified welders lol.

Some bondo will smooth it right out;)
I have a gallon of splash zone to use for the rest of the runners.....this is going to be real pretty lol.
I tried something, it didn't work. Yes Dyno time only. I wanted to run a tad tighter clear.
So I learned I was a few tenths too tight by 3.
I think #7 looked especially bad because what was above it. The rear cam bearing somehow looked really bad and was at steel. I'm not sure what went on there but it will be figured out and remedied.
Main bearings looked good except for a little bit of **** probably made it's way onto the surface.
Going back to standard size king coated bearings.

Two atmospheres are better than one
Hopefully you were using some of Tim’s 0w10 synthetic (or whatever magic sauce he uses) with the clearance that tight.
Nope lol. 30 grade vr1
Are you having Tim do the finish work to make it pretty.
Has he done any of the body work yet, he should have had that ready for paint by now. lol
He said he was getting it done next weekend lol

Keep up with the UPDATES. Keep things moving along, it helps move others too! Glad that you found that bearing issue.
Thanks Sean, will do !
Nothing special, I welded until I ran out of gas.
It's pretty close I think on the outside thickness.
I'm going to cover it all in splash zone after it's ported and hope it makes a difference.
Also, don't mind the ugly. I think I finally figured out how to weld right before I ran out of argon lol.

Pardon the ignorance, but what's the idea there? Opening up the runners some?
Yes I need some big to small taper in the runner. I had it reversed because I was in a hurry and it made it struggle to get past 6000 rpm, atleast I'm blaming that.
That's what all the cool kids do lol
How's your project going?

It's almost on the road. I'm just about done playing with spaghetti, then I'll be getting it registered and shmobbin down the road. I've never wired a car from scratch, so it's taking a bit. Hopefully it comes to life when the switches are thrown. lol
