Ed,
Yep! IF! You are so right; 1000 <> 100 in this game. But, so far, so
good (said the suicide as he passed the 4th floor). You take the fun
out of teasing you when you're right! ;)
As for the bearing, thanks for remembering. The whole engine was
tired, with ovaled cylinders, some color showing through on one big
end bearing, low compression, etc. So for once, I tried not to do a
repair halfway and instead had a complete rebuild done, with full
balancing and all machine work done by competent people, all
suggested by my local AHCA club and a couple of local vintage racers.
As I build the kitty, more things will get done (like the exhaust).
Thanks again,
Jeff
