I hope everything goes smoothly Taner,and if you want to make a 1/4 mile pass TMSP (Cayuga) is open until the end of the month depending on the weather.

Not to hijack your thread Taner, but Dave are you going Sunday?You have mail.

Geeze man, I pulled my old motor out over a year ago, and the new motor has been waiting for over three months now, it's starting to get rust!

what happened...

i just had 3 lifters go out on me. that sent all sorts of material thru the motor, so had to put new bearings and stuff into it along with lifters. it is in tomorrow kevin gresock is coming over to give me a hand to get most of it back together then for alignment in a week or so.

Glad to hear that everything is going well with the motor Taner. Did you replace the lifters and such at your house or was it at the shop?

Thumbs up it is alive!!!!!!!!!!!!

well i got it fired up, raised the front end a bit, and only thing left to do is bleed the brakes! already changed the oil, and bled the cooling system.

a HUGE thanks to Kgresock (Kevin) for coming over yesterday to assist in the assembly of all the little things that make it actually run, lmao!!!!

p.s. : tip of the day, when reassembling fuel lines double check to see that they are connected, unless of course you like to wash your garage floor with sunoco ultra 94, doh!!!!!!

Nick,
i had it done at the shop, i delivered the motor to them, and picked it up when it was done, did the install on friday.

sucks i'll be gone for a few days for work this week again, so i can't wait until thursday!!!!!!! come home bleed brakes and go for a ride.
i have an appointment for alignment scheduled for saturday morning. please somebody do a dance for 50 degree weather with a bit of sun....
