Re: My first 32 Chevy build
You know guys, its good to hear that I'm not the one out there with problems, I guess shit happens to all of us at some point. It's been a rough week dealing with this as an unknown untill last night when the black cloud lifted. I took the heads off and found that the heads seam to be fine and the pistons are not damaged. Even thow all but two pistons checked out with good compresion I found a total of 4 bent valves and 1 bent push rod, They should all be in the mail today and ready to install in the next few days. I was ment to do everything twice I guess, some times 3 times. Lets get this thing back up and running and hit the streets. Its a good day
   If you look at the .30 you can see where the valves were hitting. It's a shiny spot.

Re: My first 32 Chevy build
What a sweet ride it is, I think I will take it easy for a few miles this time, We can't do this again, Motor started rt up and is sounding like a beast, A little tuning and it will be ready to roll, Who is the man now?
Is it Christmas? Here is a short video

Re: My first 32 Chevy build
Just now finding this thread, and glad no worse damage!
As I said over on the Social group thread, cast pistons ain't all that bad on a hot street engine long as you leave off the nitrous! Dave |

Re: My first 32 Chevy build
It's a new year and I hope that every body had as good a year as I did in 2011. My kids are doing great and I have a wonderful wife that understands the car thing and she even gets involved in the building and the weekend hang outs. I have met some new friends that taught me a good bit about the Hot Rod seen and for you guys on the HAMB, thanks for all your kind words and input. So Happy new year and lets bring in 2012 with nothing but good stories.
I do want to report that today I finished the tuning of the new motor and it is kicking ass. It sounds healthy and runs far better that I ever thought it would. The Motor totally rocks man, Now I have a Hot Rod!! Time to take on some Big Blocks. 6500 RPMs are coming easy these days. Have a great new year

Carl, I know I said it before, I don't know where you find the time or energy. That engine sounds sweet!

Re: My first 32 Chevy build
Did a few things these past weeks but not much. Some small items that needed to be done but I guess that will always be the case since I never finish anything 100%. That way I can always say (I need to go work on the hot Rod) Hanging out in the garage and kicking back a few is much better then hanging on the couch watching TV. So here are a few pictures of the new Tach Josh and I put in Sunday and the new grill I recycled out of a computer cabinet. Its not much but all I have till I can get somthing better. I did get to use the metal brake my dad gave me the last time I was in NC visiting for Thanksgiving.
