    Little bit of an update

    Well the past few days we've been really hauling ass on my motor. We started working on the top half today (everything else is done ). Got the head studs in today, now just waiting on the head gaskets which should be here tomorow. I'll post pics later on. If things keep going at this pace there is no reason why it shouldn't be running by the end of January

        Crank was cracked in 4 spots, main bearings wiped out, shitty valve job, rings had .060 end gap. It was just a horribly built motor. Wher've you been I posted like 2 other threads about it

              Wow, that sucks. Glad to see that it will hopefully be back together in the spring though.

                Very irriated right now. Head and intake gaskets came today and they're the wrong ones. Now UPS doesn't ship till Monday so this is pretty much like a wasted week on it. Hopefully I can make some progress on putting my gauges in the dash though.

                          Heads


                          Dissaproval of the rockers


                          As you can see it doesn't come in contact with the valve and would hit the spring



                          Oh and what is under this bag?
