RE: Great Progress Tonight

Look good Bill – got my engine back from the rebuilder on Friday all rebuilt and balanced. .030 over and mildest 256 cam from Gary P and Schneider cams.

Bud’s machine & engine in Lakewood, WA. Shop has been there 40 years plus – Bud is 75 and still working the phones, desk and balancing machine. When I brought my heads up to him 2 years ago, I thought it was a 2 man job to lift Poly heads. He unloaded them himself from my truck!

Anyway – starting to make progress myself over the weekend. Set valve lash, installed oil pump & pick-up, oil slinger, timing cover, oil pan, dampner, water pump, oil filter adapter. Did some painting. Test fit the manifold and valve covers before final install. Still need to get a new oil pump/distributor shaft. Ran out of my favorite gasket sealant anyway, spray can of Hylomar blue. So have those things on order. A new dipstick & tube coming too, old one is intact but don’t want to use it – same story for valve cover breather caps.
