Let's start a series of threads where everyone posts how they did, what problems you may have and so forth. Maybe the sharing of info can help us all beat the rice burners. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'll start:
I awoke to a typical muggy Florida morning.....ok I won't tell the WHOLE story (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Good things: Last week I pulled the engine and I seemed to have cured the oil leak that was flinging oil everywhere. And I found a valve that was too tight that was causing popping and farting. I had no problems with these two things yestersday.

Bad things: 1) I still have a hot start problem. After making one run I can shut it off on the grid and it will restart for the next run after about 15 minutes. But after the second run it will not restart and I have to sit in the car to keep it running as it won't idle by itself. The starter is turning over but it won't fire off. I need to check my timing. 2) I need to fab some sort of firewall behind my seat. After two runs the back of my aluminum seat is would make a nice frying pan. 3) I need to do an alinement job. I haven't checked it in awhile. 4) The car is still faster than I am, I should have done better.

I got four runs in before the rain it. So I packed up and went home. I'm taking July and August off. Too damn hot here.
