Had just enough time today to pull the engine out of the race car this morning. This will be the start of home engine building 101.

Scary.....

Next weekend I'll start the teardown...I'll post pics of what is broken inside.

Here's a pic....

Ya hoo!!! it's one of them fast yellow cars. Well mostly.

Well now, that wasn't so tough, eh?

What's with the big smile on your face? You're supposed to be looking grumpy.

I've got mine pretty well torn down. Tomorrow: Split the case.

Demick

i know. he's always smiling ...

bill, whatever you're smoking, i want some!
Andy

Hay, it's easy to smile at this point.

I get grim when it's time to light off the new rebuild.

I'm already wondering how it will be to light off the engine....and have the horror of missing something in the rebuild and the engine detonates....

But....I'm too far along now...so I'll just have to grip it and rip it!

Am I supposed to have any parts leftover????



Bill P.

Hi Andy,

How is your engine coming along? I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel...or at least spark!

Bill P.

The "fun" begins when you get a box of stuff containing a "rebuild kit" (which, IMO, is the best way to go). I opened the box......gulp ....well fuck me stupid.....lookit' all this stuff This ain't no small block Chebby.

Left over parts: If they look important, they prolly are

I know....I've done small SBC's, and they still loook like an engine when torn down. Now a Porsche motor is a different animal...19 eleban parts and nylock nuts...and a case that splits?



Where's my air rachet...I've got to start the tear down....

Bill P.

spark is gud. don't know about the light tho.

i'll know more by mid week, i'm hoping to be back on the road for the marina AX ...
