well today was a long one......

clayton (twystd1) came over to assist in finding either an exhaust leak or *gasp* a headleak that i had begun to hear.....

and then bill (grimstead) came over to play with his webers ....


fast forward several hours later.
My motor is out. In the back of my truck.
Bills car is dialed in pretty close. needs a valve adjustment first.

my motor is going to get its heads pulled... and *MIGHT* see a a CR and CC increase....

so yes... pics later. im betting headgasket died.....
while your in there.... lets make it faster LOL

so.. where is the hookup on 96mm KB pistons? ill have to drop a dime and call jake up.

good day had by all. In N out... bro's...car's... and making noise in the neighborhood...

AA

Will Clayton answer his phone?

will the price of rice in china affect my motor work?

I need some advice on my megasquirt....it runs like crap when cold.....pop,pop,pop......

Depends on who you get your P & C's from.

Yeah but who fed you? All worky on empty belly no bueno.

I got my 96mm KB's at EuroMotorworks on Hawthorne Blvd.

my folks bought lunch (solid!)

i have cylinders (oem 94's...) whats the skinny on KB 96 pistons?

Popping in the intake? too lean

Don't forget, Bill's engine needs zero lash when cold. NOT 0.008"!

duh! chromo pushrods like mine...

Duh.....

Mikey did you add in Waemup enrichment and does it vary with engine temp? Where is the sensor located?

Dave

alright you butt thread pirates......

back on topic.
so pulled all tin off motor. pulled rocker arms/pushrods/etc....

ready for pulling the heads next free weekend.

nice stains...

Rich

liquid gasket...at the autoparts store, made for aluminum...works like a charm...
BTDT same leak.

Aaron: That doesn't look like a flat six in the back of that pickup. Do something about that why don't you?

my checkbook is a few digits short of that....

but my truck has had a six back there LOL

I dunnos what yew were dewin, but when I put cases and transmissions back together they doan leak

off my back monkey!

thomas/joe/I put it together... all new. it leaks a tad. its 30 years old....

While it's apart.... how about a turbo and watercooling??? Oh and Dual Overhead cams, and Fool Injection, and no more oil leaks (besides my damn speedo drive), and....

Now's the time....

Aaron, nice engine lid.

Is that really a current pic? The grass is that green? You suck!

i sweat 5 lbs yesterday and today... felt 90 ish outside today.....

plenty warm....

the lid is "eh...pretty good". not perfect. but looks ok. thanks for the props.

now find me some pistons

Now your talkin Aaron.

Now, your really talkin.

ROFLMAO

you kill me bro!

I have a question

Why did you split your fan shroud ?

gotta take off the front piece to get access to the 4 nuts that attach it to the case

and to clean it

You can get to the nuts by just removing the fan

No you don't, you just pull the 3 bolts on the fan, then pull the fan off, then you can get to the 4 housing bolts.

You can even leave the alt completely attached, you just loosen up the adjuster and the thru bolt on the bottom, so you can remove the fan belt, then remove the shroud & alt as one complete assembly. Installation is just reversed.

yeah yeah... i know.

tin and shroud may get powdercoated while its apart.....

cleaned at a minimum.
