I was so close to getting my motor started...
I was getting ready to put my mallory into place. Put in the spring, but it did not go into the divot right. So I put my finger into the hole to grab it, and the freaking spring disappeared. I look in there with a light, and there is a hole that goes into the case that the spring has somehow gone into. Dr Evil and I tried to retrieve it with a magnet, but we can't locate the spring. So - what is that hole? Where does it lead to? Is the spring sitting in a galley somewhere, or has it gone down into the pan. Will I find it if I pull the tuna can off and the inspection plate? I just spent a week building this motor, and an am trying to find time on friday and saturday night after my son goes to sleep to get it running. Dropping the motor for a ANOTHER rebuild is an option, but it is likely one that will table my car until I am done with grad school, or I stop being mad at it/myself. Zach |

Pump is back in and sealed. Engine went back to TDC and I put the dizzy drive back in, and put the Mallory right on so that I was not tempted to futz with it. Being an idiot, I put it in 180 off, but I recognized it before I blew fireballs trying to start the car. I just marked on the cap where the #1 plug wire goes, no problem. :-)
I got the taco plate swapped out with a plate with a temp sensor in it. Yeah, another gauge that will work! Fan shroud needs to go back on, and the engine needs to go back in the car. But Erin and I have plans for this evening (*cue funky bass*) after Theo goes to bed, so tonight I will not be able to just work out in the garage all night like most Fridays. I'll work all Saturday night instead. Next weekend, I want to be able to run it to break in the cam and set timing, but I'll need a local to sit fire watch for me, since I will be in the car. Zach |
