Yuk! Gonna be 86 here today
Wheres the Studebaker?
Oh wait I found it. Kind of like a visual puzzle.
We are predicted for 68° high and 60° low for today...
Looks like rain every day until Thur....
I like seeing the midriff, but don't care for turtle neck sweaters...
The long sleeves can go also... Especially if you are going to show some stomach, what's with the long sleeves???
Send the rain down her Karl!
Hides the needle marks?????

Got Cinnamon all cleaned up. Waxed it yesterday..that was a mess. I’ve been using McGuire’s Ultimate liquid. I think it froze last winter. Water separated out. I used it since then and just shook it up. This time I shook it and it all is water. 
. So dug out some other stuff from the cabinet. Did fender a little and looked great. Then did hood and looks all smeary. 
Not sure why. It was cool surface. Buffed with a rag best I could. Bout time to go now. Show is less than 10 minutes away. Registration starts at 10. Which means there’s 50 cars there by now. Lol

Might be a long sleeve kinda day around here. It might get out of the 60s and about the time it does the 35mph winds should be here
Dose she come with my new toilet seat???
Fun crowd dropping in last night on here, good subject matter.
Good Times ! ! ! . . .
Oh, that makes since....
Been looking for a floor drill press. This one is cool just to dam big for what I need.

I wish that I could....
It would be great to pack it up in a box and send it to you....
If you can get on before she gets off, the seat will be warm....
Hey Krazykuda A question for you if you don't mind. I just received my new engine from Blueprint and they ran it on a dyno so is the break in done or do I need to keep it under a load when I get it running.

There was an old machine shop back in the old country, before electricity old. All the machines in the shop were run by one electric motor. The corral was still behind the shop where the mules used to power the shop from.
I would think that it depends on what kind of cam is in it and how long they ran it on the dyno...
I hope that they kept the RPM's down until it warmed up, cold start is when 80% of wear happens... I make a rule to try to keep cold engines under 3000 RPM until they reach running temp... After it's warm, then go ahead and run it higher RPM....
If it has a flat tappet cam, they should have broke it in fully on the dyno, as the first starts are supposed to be to break in the cam....
It's not so critical to run a roller cam engine for the 45 minute break in like a flat tappet as their is less friction on the cam surface with the roller lifters...
So in short, they should have run it for the full break in when they ran it on the dyno no matter what cam is in it, but Johnny Mac should answer that...
At the engine factory, we had a roller cam and we just spun them on a cold test stand without firing them up... We would monitor the oil flow pattern, valve timing, and could catch a closed spark plug gap, plugged oil squirt hole in the connecting rod, timing chain off time, etc... We never put any fuel down them in the cold test, just basically priming the oil system and catching any build defects as that is where we would fill the oil... The oil fill was the first thing done before rotating the engine....
Roller cams are not as critical to do the cam break in as the roller doesn't have the same surface contact and rubbing action that a flat tappet cam does...
