Just drive it lol, I still beat the hell out of mine....when its not in the garage.... If it breaks then it breaks. Winter is comming up soon so you have that time to put another short block in so you can at least drive it lol. I have noticed mine still leaks out of the front timing cover. I think that my crank has just gotten weak because when I checked it on the snout of the crank with a dial indicator it flexed a good amount just from me turning it with a breaker bar.

if i would have known about this a few weeks ago i would have shipped you a stock bottom end 46k miles and you just pay shipping. i sold it locally for 50 dollars.

well the plan for right now is to beat the **** out of it for the rest of the season...... which is 3 weeks, haha.

try to get a personal best at the track before it closes.

I can rebuild this motor for super cheap, it will probably make even more power on motor because it would be fresh, and not like it is now, 30psi low on one cylinder....

but with a 150 shot, the block is not going to last to long...... but putting in a 351 is not cheap, even a budget minded 351.

I have to add everything up before I decide :/

haha, thanks for the thought man. no big deal.

no ones sells **** around here. only dummies try to race up here in the mountains

ProTrickVic

lol, anything for a fellow racer.

i race up to the mountains cause i love it up there. trail ridge road...LOVE IT!
been down to royal gorge? really neat chit. also i love the set up for your outlet mall in silverthorn...place is freakin sweet.


anyways, if you need some assistance on a build just let me know, 302 or 351 i'll lend my brain to you.

haha, yea, i love the state, the town is cool, most people are alright, just drive like total tards.

but at this elevation its horrible for racing.

thanks for the offer, ill probably take you up on helping me out a bit.

at the moment, with my limiter funds, I think my best bet is just to rebuild this motor

302army187

shot a video......

hooked the oil pressure gauge back up. hasn't worked in two months, but back then, when the motor was cold, it would show almost 50psi.

now......... about 10-15psi when the motor is cold.......

I think its time for a rebuild

Yup, the rattling shifter is annoying as hell. Unlike you though sir my oil pressure is awesome. Almost too much in my book lol.

302army187

yep. seems like a spun, or just really screwed up bearings!

ugh.


lots more work ahead of me

projectresto83

Ehh its not really that much. Now that you know how it goes together and tuned you shouldn't have the same issues you had before when it first went together.

302army187

yea, shouldn't be to bad.

just this unexpected **** drives me nuts.

makes me want to sell this hunk-o-junk and buy a motorcycle again.
