Too bad I didn't take a picture of the nasty slice on my finger thanks to the "New" 318, maybe pictures of me out tracing my route home looking for the pin that fell out of my engine hoist.

I still got it greasy and washed it a few times, bandaids are for sissies...........

Actually.................Johns on wife #3 or 4 if I remember right.

He's not the only one with a few of those t-shirts. Maybe his new blonde friend is the way to go. You don't have to keep buying half your house if you split up with one of them.

Actually back in June John bit the bullet again, very happy this time.

Found some time this evening, being anal has it's upsides, I did find a few things needing attention, stem seals are shot (which means the valves need cleaned and the seats), someone had nearly entirely blocked a coolant passage with RTV when the intake was reinstalled, and there's overspray on the push rods (thats a case of extreme analness, but.....)



New timing chain (double roller, Billet steel sprockets) and Gasket set (with stem seals) on there was as of friday.

More work, cleaned up the pistons a bit, it HAS had a recent rebuild, the cylinder walls were too clean to be original, and according to the diameter of the pistons the chamber walls were only honed not bored.
 
DOHC? Does this look like a Ford Modular V8 to you (Zing!)

Anyway, while I'm waiting on my crap from Summit I finally Visited my 18 foot friend (and after I left the washroom........)

Cleaned out my Garage (yeah thats what I call my plastic tent) and was able since we got rid of the Camper to extend my shop a bit, plenty of room.

Then I did some metal work, a few more hunks of steel and some time and I'll be done, well Done the floors and Gas Tank straps.GEDC0913.jpgGEDC0887.jpgGEDC0911.jpg
