shots from the garage...

Well we can refer to the above November garage pict and insert here.... went over the car this weekend and I think we’re race ready for the season opener in Phoenix. Adjusted the valves for the first time in like.... well I don’t remember. We were in such a hurry getting the car to the track back in May it never got done.... after that we just spaced it off. Car was running great, no odd noises... run it!! Anyways I warmed it up and pulled the covers and all was well.. .016 across the board with minimal adjusting. Guess I was feeling guilty after Brian sent me a pict of a cracked bearing retainer in one of my Jesel rocker arms on the W8 mill. Luckily it didn’t lose any needles, but you can bet I’d a probably ran it until I did. There again I got a bit lax in my maintenance and with the investment in that mill I need to pay a little closer attention. I actually watched a good video Ben Strader made (EFI University) on checking valve train and things to look out for. I’ll have to apply it :). I’ll load the car next Sunday after a mini vacation to the coast and head to the track the following Friday. I’m actually pretty excited!! ......even though my dad refuses to wheel the car. Maybe he’ll reconsider when we get there :)
