We're starting to get this thing buttoned up. I cut the pushrods today so we finished the valve train adjusted the valves to 0.0 lash (that's what Jake wants), started putting on tin and got the valve covers on.

Don't get me wrong Jake, I don't expect it to. I really was trying to make a point. There's a lot buried in that assembly cost (time, powder coating, and some small amount of risk). Maybe a better way to put it is that the buyer of an assembled engine gets complete piece of mind.
I once put an outboard together and had a nut and 2 washers left over. I didn't take it back apart. Funny thing it stayed together until I sold it. That included an hour marathon race turning 6K (600 rpms over redline) with a few prop walks (probably near 8K for a short time) and another 20 or so hours of just playing around (testing). I never figured out where they went or if they just ended up in the pile during the assembly. I'm not making that mistake tis time. Dave |
