The wiring on the MSD needed better connections.
Fired up! Wooooo Hoooooo! Did the 20 minute 4000 rpm breakin. Ran out of time to do a road test. The acellerator linkage needs a little work. It seems that the carbs are lower, or something. And yes, I put the spacers in... Can't wait to break in the rings. James (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

QUOTE(Red-Beard @ May 14 2004, 04:22 PM) I had a local engine builder put the engine together. The assembly charge was only $850, so I had them do the engine complete. If I just had it re-ringed (Along with the head repairs, valve guides, etc), I would have spent about $2500. It was closer to $6000 with the extra work (Porting), new P&Cs, new crank and rods, installation of piston squirters, and the carb parts to properly handle the 2.7. I keep dreaming that one day I can build my own /6 motor. Then I wake up. For what it would take to "properly" build my 2.0 (or upgrade it to a nice little 2.2 or 2.4,) I can probably buy a used 2.7+ in good condition. Having the uncontrollable urge to do stuff yourself is often the hard way to do things. Good luck getting it back on the road! We need pics! -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
