Outstanding. I love maiden voyages, even if they're just around the hood...
Without a hood are the best!

On a low note, I think I have to pull the cam out and check some things. Still not getting AS MUCH oil on the left bank as the right bank. I'm not comfortable with it. I talked to both Mike at MRL and Jim/IQ52 about some options available to me
Bummer... But it's more fun time playing with her innards....
NO! That sucks.
Hey Ray Great news on the shirts. Looking forward for the cruise?
Should have the car running to take you for a ride when you get here.
Check this out guys & gals!!! My 3D CAD project is coming along better than I planned. Here's a couple screen shots of it. Zoom in to check on it. I modeled the Miller Tool torsion bar removal tool that is listed in the service manual, which is no longer available and a 1.00" A-body torsion bar.
Here's a view of it all:

Here's a closer view of it, notice how there is a gap between the top and bottom piece because it's clamped to the outside of the torsion bar. That is because the interference with the bar keeps them from mating. This is part of how you constrain the parts as you assemble them.

Here's more of an end view showing the gap between the top and bottom piece. Notice how I also have the weld on the top piece, that was another step to combine them as a weld. They didn't teach us this, I had to go through the tutorials to learn this. I hope it's worth some bonus points from the instructor...

the thread that never sleeps.. sounds like some good stuff going on..
Mitch - kickbutt!! must have been a bit weird running her around the block like that huh?

what is so weird about no fenders or hood. John Milner never had a hood or fenders either yet everyone thinks he is cool![]()
Hey guys. got my New Cam in today, I forgot how much a pain it is to adjust solid lifters. All done, just have to put on valve covers. Sounds nice. http://iskycams.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12_14&products_id=608
