Cylinder scuffing question (ordered 0.040 over rings), getting ready to order a hone, is there a preference for grit? The interwebs says 180 to...
About to disappear again, back to chasing a leak in the irrigation system...can't waste water. Happy spring![ATTACH]
What a mess. Tried to do...something. F'ing mess. Just over look. This is the trial go at the front part of the valence. It is a complex bit of...
Pistons seem to be pretty uniform top to bottom when measured 90° from center of wrist pin. Thinking about reaching out to Chaffins, and...
thank you Dan, will do.
@Dan from Oakland all the pistons have wear on the thrust side of pistons, ring landings still look nice and square. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Checked the pistons at 90 degrees to pin, on center of the plane. Piston - Cylinder bore (U/M) #1 3.788 - 3.7910 / 3.7915 #2 3.783 - 3.7905 /...
Pulled the rods today, second ring on the first piston came out in 2 pieces. Put the rings back in their respective holes and checked gap at a the...

They are Jahns, this engine really has a 60's build feel. Bores feel smooth with no ridges or wear marks. The variance may also be attributed to...
Dips for the rods, instead of the little pressed steel ones, who ever built this engine put a lot of thought into it.
Broke out the telescoping gauges and checked the bores, measuring perpendicular to the wrist pin (is that correct?) measured at the upper end of...
Got an engine stand up and functioning. Mounted the engine and flipped it over. Everything looks very clean. The engine had no compression,...
They are "Disteel" wheels, I think they really help the visual balance of the car. The body is so large, the wheels help bring it together.
