I have new phone. I have no idea why it posted just the car. I hate when things are changed for the sake of change. But I digress …

Saw this while in Germany with my wife. Wonder if it’s a 340?

I’ll bet it spoils putting something in the trunk.

Good for you! Enjoy yourselves. The Christmas that we went to Turks and Caicos, we used one of the house plants in the place as a Christmas tree. The ornaments were whatever we could find laying around. :lol: P.S. Screw Cuba

This is brutal. Godspeed, Leanna.

They're all done. I'm glad I cleaned them. The picture (sorry, it's poor), shows material on the tip of the magnet that I ran through the fresh gas that I cleaned them in. I replaced the gas every 4 lifters. Air hosed them. (Ignore the white spot, I believe that's a reflection from the...

Smarter than my first wife... Not mine. Stumbled on it on YouTube.

Eight down, eight to go. They're easy to disassemble. Turkey time!

I'm cleaning the inside of my 360 thoroughly, because a rod bearing spun and put metal through the engine. I did this once before about 30 years ago because of a wiped cam. (I've also done it to freshly machined blocks, crank, rods, etc.) I can't remember what we did about the (hydraulic, in...

No transman, every little bit helps. You nailed the reason I'd like to know who built it- to see if I can find out its history. The only markings on it are in the pic below. Lol, I thought I did post pics. Should be below. For the reason I mentioned to transman above.

I'm tearing down my 360 to address a spun bearing problem, and I thought I'd try to figure out what converter I have. (I bought the whole drivetrain used, so it's been a detective game.) The only markings are these numbers on the crank hub: C300 2601. It has 3/8" bolt holes. It measures 9...

I love videos like this. No actors here, just all talent and skill.

Looks like there was some kind of contest going on here. :lol:

I'll be checking everything, just like a new build. Heck, it's out and on the stand. Plus, what else does this retired guy have to do all winter? :lol:

Thinking about that, it could've been remnants of the assembly lube.

We’ll check into that possibility. I would think if 7 were bent, the bearing wear would be abnormal. It’s ok. Twisted, maybe? I would still expect some abnormal wear on the rod(s) and/or bearing(s). It’s still something to look into. Edit: Also, Abby Normal piston skirt wear, as I was reading...

I used Plastigage. I can see it not being as accurate as a mic and a bore gage. I used the latter on the cylinders and pistons. I'll have to see if I can cover 2-3 with it. (Excuse the italics, I have no idea what button I hit.) Thanks for the heads up on bearings. Yes, that rod was .002...

A measuring we will go. I'll be doing the cleaning. That's one aspect I'm familiar with. I'm hoping the crank I have now can be saved. Looks worse in the picture than it is, I think. .002" I'll get back when I have more info. Thanks everyone for getting me going in the right direction.

Hi Steve. I hoped that fire isn't affecting you. I hear you on the Kings. The bearings in it are Clevite 77's. Would you happen to know if they're comparable? I just did a little searching about bearings; there's a bunch to learn! I'm curious as to what the machine shop has to say. I would...

I bought a used 360 w/ balanced stock rods and crank, KB191's (measured 10.9:1), 292* .508 purple cam, and ported 915's w/ 2.02 intakes. It has run mostly 11.90's in a 3000# (at the line) Duster. I took it apart to see what was in it, and check it out when I bought it, because the guy I bought...

We’ll, OP checked in this morning. Still no comment. ‍

I would think that it takes a certain type of personality to handle that kind of work. I couldn't do it. It would be interesting to learn the history of that kind of work. I mean, somebody had to design all of that stuff knowing that someone was going to have to put it together.

Watch this on the biggest screen you can.

Funny how you can tell an employer from an employee, huh?

I've never used them, but Shoemaker's Automotive Machine Shop is in Clermont. You're in Somers's Point? I'm pulling my engine now; I have a knock and bearing material in the filter. I've been thinking of contacting them. I don't know of any others in the area. Searching, I see they're on...

OP MIA.

Yes, it is getting better. As far as the lights (rt) go, when I went last month, and the first pass on the 19th, I was watching the tach to see what the convertor flashed to. (about 4k). Those last three runs on the 19th were the first runs I've tried to cut a light in 30 years, when they...

I last went 9-13-24. Here's the thread- Cecil County 9-13-24 A bunch of stuff on there. I'm trying to simplify now, lol. This time I got 4 runs. The D.A. is written on the slips. I made all runs the same except for this: I had my pin-on glass hood "floating" at the back.. I.E. longer...

Terrible thing. Seemed like a good guy. Godspeed. Anyone know what happened? He just posted this morning.

Beautiful colors. And the chrome headers flow to the chrome ladder bars just right. Photographer got it just right.
