Looks like nobody else works on Sunday but you and me. We are scheduled to run gene and dans hemi about a week before they need to be there. They have been on for about 5 days of testing this year and have learned plenty. The question is will they have enough for the late model guys. Good luck this year!-John

Well, I ran mine for the first time 2 weeks ago. Was improving it consistantly when the epoxy came out of one intake port and bounced around the top end of the engine.
I am in the process of disassembling it and cleaning it all then put it back together with new top rings.
I will be there but, maybe not in the engine's best state of tune...!
When you work for yourself and live alone, Labor Day is just another Monday, LOL.
There is no such thing as a paid vacation day.

Right. I spent all day trying to get the 'bad' ports on our BBC close to the good ports. Frustrating. Had it on and off the bench at least ten times and doing another day of that monday. At least I can keep the doors locked and let the phone ring.promachine wrote:Looks like nobody else works on Sunday but you and me.
We're still a solid two weeks from running if everything goes perfectly. What are the odds...

Hello Randy
Even if it requires a lie, please don't say it was Splash Zone. lol
Hello Everyone else
Hopefully, we can be on the Pro Machine Dyno a little earlier than anticipated. Gene's finishing up on the manifold porting - probably one more day. Ron Pratt is bolting the heads on for the final time this afternoon. Checked clearances (p/v, p/h) and compression ratio this morning, and all's well.
I'm beavering away on the headers, and am about half done. Thirty more hours, three more days. We should be ready for the dyno about a week from today. Barring unforeseen circumstances. Not a chance of that. What?
I had expected fuel by now. Anyone else got theirs?

I just put my shortblock together yesterday. I still have a lot of work to get done and then hope for no problems. My dyno time is probably going to consist of breaking in the engine and making sure everything is Ok I doubt I will have time to do any testing. Pray for me.

That's what made the damage worse than normal 'cause that stuff is 80% aluminum powder.
The replacement WILL be Z-Spar; (Splash Zone).
No gasoline yet ...
