I can't believe it but after 1-1/2 years of waiting for my engine components to be machined, I am finally picking up the parts tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif). I will post more after talking to the owner about the issues he found with my case. This is what was holding everything up. Luckily. I have source another case (from my shed) and will be using this one instead. Here's a few pics of the my "other '74" after uncovering it today and wiping off a bit of dust. She needs to ride again! Hoping for Okteenerfest. Stay tuned!

QUOTE(friethmiller @ Jul 8 2026, 09:13 PM)  Oil Pump Checks (Part2): Pulled out the pump gaskets for the LE's new pump. Nice and thick! Boy, that makes that o-ring sit a lot better - when crushed it might be ok. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Fred, Where did you get these thick gaskets? They look like just what we need for some o-ringed oil pumps/projects. |
