Thanks Cliff! You stay safe...

I hope any of our forum members in the area stay safe. Hopefully you and yours stay out of harms way. It's a hard time of year to get burnt out... @motorman7 Rich, are you out of the way?

It is very pretty and the beauty of a southern snow is it's gone in a few days or less. Makes for a great mini staycation...

I would think you would gap per the ring manufacturer specs like the ones you listed based on the piston they're on. I would think ring position relative to combustion and the size of the groove in the piston is the overriding factor not the block they are mounted in. I would think a flame front is a flame front. I suspect compression has more effect on the rings than what the engine is...

Hasn't started here yet but should be soon.When it snows I just stay home. Can't afford to have my truck torn up by someone with too high an estimate of their driving skills!

I had seen that car at the salvage auctions. I am not sure how it got caved in. Maybe the heat did it or maybe it was in a garage that burned and something fell on it. Once they are burnt like that, they rust almost overnight. I have wondered about buying a burn car that is not so severely burnt. I wonder though how bad they're oil canned from the heat and the damage to the metal from being heated to that degree...

Maybe you need to flush the block. Was it stored with antifreeze in it or water? Maybe the jackets are all scaled up...

That innovate will be fine. You will need to get an exhaust bung welded into your exhaust system. If you have a 6-2-1 system, you may want two bungs one welded into each of the the two pipes. That will allow you to check the front carb and the back carb separately. I believe the innovates come with at least one exhaust bung...

I would reuse everything gaskets, bolts, etc. The time is cheap compared to destroying a freshly rebuilt engine

I would think $1000 is a vary reasonable price. I would expect a steep discount to buy a lot like this. If they want retail then they need to sell them individually...

In theory they will all be the same but sometimes cylinders vary a little bit after honing. It's cheap insurance while the motor is out to go ahead and check them all. Do you have a bore gauge to check run out?

I wondered about that too. 300 ft/lbs of torque through 205's

Wow. That's a ton of work. $58,500 I wish them well...

If you would just get a wideband O2 sensor you would have already fixed this issue!!!!

I'm liking that!

Is that your Ebay add?

That's a good looking motor! I don't know why but a sexy motor stirs something deep down in side me...

Did you look at the throttle plate screws?

Drums are surely sufficient for braking in the original form in all but extreme or track conditions, but disc are much simpler in many ways and don't need any adjustment. They are also much easier to visually inspect. They also have a nice visual aesthetic to them...

That wouldn't surprise me at all. I forgot to mention, no affiliation I was just browsing craigslist

Thanks, I just needed the "Hoover" to help me come up with the right search terms

I would think cold temperatures would make it less prone to spark knock...

Much better, thanks C

Is that a factory mirror on Cody's car? I would like to find another one like it for the other side...
