Glamour Shots.. '62 Valiant Wagon
1/22/24:
Got some things accomplished..
Started off the work day by truing the backing plates that was on the used rear axle I bought - Some of the "Rub Blocks" were rubbed a bit too much with a large gouge in some areas... so I welded and ground on those areas a bit.
After welding/grinding, one more trip to the blast cabinet - the repair was imperceivable.
Short Block assembly time:
The Crank and pistons were all assembled by the end of my session.
I am picking a New cam and Head so this engine should run very well - The stock stuff will be in the queue for reworking someday!
