Last minute motor drop at my house last sunday, Brant's street car developed a "noise" so time to pull it out and take a look.

L to R

Jeff, (scotts bro) Scott and Sharon shooting the S(&*

Greg looking for lost change

Brant enjoying a "cold one" (it was early )

Gint in his flight suit

proof that actual work was done

my car even went out and was driven, about 20 yards to the other side of the street

A motley crew for sure (Sharon excluded!)

So besides one greasy palm was there any progress? What was the the diagnosis? Ferg, your car is probably still in shock from having to be out.....

nothing super obvious, though some thought one valve seat looked a tad sunk...
Brant's gonna come back over and take a better look at the motor this week.

Ferg

in response to John, and all......


thanks so much fellas
ferg, gint, greg, scott... I defintely owe you guys (again!)

dad had a long chat with AJ today
AJ's not convinced that the valve seat was making my noise.
looks like the block is coming apart this weekend.

I may have parts for sale soon!
I may be parting this motor out, unless something obvious comes up soon.

more to follow next week
thank again for the invaluable help fellas!

Bummer

I didn't think so either. It looks a llittle sunk, but it appeared to be still intact and in the head (not loose or broken). Damn shame though.

It will be interesting to find out what the issue was.

I know it's a lot of coin, but Clayton has a REALLY nice type4 built by henry at supertec that he might consider letting go of. Put it on your Visa, the payment will be well worth it!
