Still getting snow here...if it dont quit soon, Im gonna have to start blowing the piles into semi trailers and taking them to warmer climates to melt!!
That is nuts. I was 16 this morning. I am still getting flurries but for the most part it is melting off. The open area of the yard has 15 inches? The woods is still waist deep. I tried to cut some firewood yesterday. I sank a hundred times. It wore me out.
My engine block might be no good. The old cam wore into the block face by .055 and it is messed up. I am probably going to have to pull a 73 motor from the house garage. I already had a peek inside it as the intake manifold was not bolted down, and the cam is sitting right where it should be. The old cam lobes were just about hitting the neighboring lifter in the original block I took apart. I am bummed about that. Oh well... And I met Glenn yesterday morning. He saved the day with a rear T98 bearing retainer. Sure glad for that. Thanks Glenn. I hope to clean it up today and paint it. And I need to have a look at the factory manuals to see if there is a short bushing on that mounting ear. The brace has a wear mark for what looks like one. I will make one on the lathe no matter what.
