I picked up this engine from a member of the "World" in Nashville and my son and I are going to attempt to rebuild it over the winter. We have a book, youtube, and this website and will document everything in this thread.
The first thing we had to do is get it small and light enough to get it down to the unfinished portion of my basement, so I put the boy (he's 4) to work pulling the heads off. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c5.staticflickr.com-14795-1477515217.1.jpg) Looks ok so far... Very hard to keep Blake from "organizing" all the nuts and bolts into a mixed pile. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c5.staticflickr.com-14795-1477515217.2.jpg) Success: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c3.staticflickr.com-14795-1477515218.3.jpg) More picture and questions to come. I have the cylinders and heads off and its ready to move, but still very heavy. Much thanks to walterolin for loaning us an engine stand, he even hand delivered it on a Sunday morning. Thanks again Walter! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c1.staticflickr.com-14795-1477515219.4.jpg) |

Simply awesome! Save this picture to remind Blake of your role instilling in him the need to take things apart and fix them. What a great memory! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |
