That sounds a little tougher than mine was...can't remember who's sig line it is, but I couldn't agree more with this particular part, copper coat anti-seize the crap out of it! You'll love yourself if you're the next poor bastard to have to change it down the line

Day 10 (Sunday)...

Did the main bearings. Then Rawze decided to throw a mini - party and everyone got so drunk that they could not stand up any more.


Day 11 (Monday)...
Hangover lol -- No seriously, Went and got oil pan welded up and got the overhaul kit. Got the pistons installed and torqued the rods. Good to go there.

had some of Rawze's home cooking. Spagetti. Was grweat with a hint of BBQ taste in it. Lots of meatballs too. I guess it was his last solid meal for the week? (see below)


Day 12 (Tuesday)...

Rawze went and got 13 of his teeth pulled out of his head. They gave him some Adrenaline and codine and he has been feeling no pain/ bouncing off the walls here. I think he even tried to hump a tree. Everyone watch out, he might be answering things on the forum sideways over next few days. LOL


Spent the day cleaning up parts for reassembly while Rawze recovers. Hopefully we can mount the head tomorrow if he feels up to it.

Day 13 - 15 (Wednesday - Friday)...

He got a lot of the engine back together. The head, etc. got the cams and rollers and rockers cleaned up and flushed out.

Day 16 (Saturday)...

Saturday we all took a break and went to the Atlanta Maker Fair. It was a blast and Rawze(me) got some cool ideas of some gadgets etc. Preacherboy would have love it I think.

Day 17 (Monday)...

Got engine back together, radiator, hood, all back in place and fired it up. Runs so smooth that you cannot even feel any vibrations in it. Damn it sounds good!.

Day 18 (Tuesday)...

He did some running around town with it and replaced his brakes and then took a load out to Mississippi. We enjoyed his company and all seems good so far. Maybe he will chime in over the next few days and let us all know how it is going.
