That really is a nice motor.
I'm sure the firing will go well. Be sure to get some footage of that.

Nearly an hour and nothing??

OH and hey you are right on track for the usual 3x longer than expected plan.

 

[brokenparts]

ran into a few things...































but its ALIVE AND WELL!!!!

RUMBLE.


Cam is broke in. Video was taken but I'm too tired to load it up right now.

Never mind the part when the camera is by the engine bay. The cheap valve covers coupled with the roller tip rockers makes a lot of noise. I will be replacing the covers promptly... I can't stand to listen to that garbage. We thought it was a couple lifters sticking at first but there is no miss and it runs great. The downside is that we first tried to start it with the fuel injection but all we got was a big backfire. We got scared and re-plumbed for the carb. Upon inspection and going over everything it turned out the only problem was the we had the dizzy 180 out. I'm sure if I put the fuel injection back on it would fire right up. I'll get to that soon enough.

ZACH, that is AWESOME!! Congrats man, now to get it moving under its own power

Much better! And you learned why not to take video in portrait mode!

How did you quiet the rockers?

 

[brokenparts]

Rockers.... it was easy. I just let it sit overnight and changed the oil.

Congrats on seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and staying focused on it, and not giving up.
