George, I think the pressure by pass valve stuck on the 383 , the other day... I thought I blew out the rear main. But discovered rather quickly, where it came from. Oil filter gasket.... No Worries... all fixed....
Welp...Time to go eat Dinner.....
What
What's for supper Mitch?
Fixed a pot of chili and have a BV and water going. Damn, I'm out of whisky.

Just doing what I do
Probably had a valve job done at some point.
Sweet! It's got good compression.
I cut some slices off a ham I baked last week. In the fryin pan now... Cook some noodles and vegies to go with it.......

I'm serious look it up!
George I added you to a message

No, no, no! The stripes on the springs get timed with the oil pump driveshaft. Intakes toward the front, exhausts 180 out towards the rear. Then double checked for rotation after break in.

And then you need to synchronize the rotation with the muffler bearings...
I don't think I knew that part. Don't they still have to be facing the same way as ring gap? I know I lined it up with the oil ring gap and that sucker smoked like crazy and fouled plugs like crazy

Yes, like when the planets align, it's critical.
Well gee thanks
Why is everyone
concerned that I invited George to a message where I was asking about painting. I was trying to avoid starting a conversation where I get the advice of all the experts...all 51 of them...I trust George
Ddaddy
Just doing what I do
George knows paint!
