I was aware of that work going on but not too involved as I was changing an
engine myself. But I well remember the disappointment of not having those
two cars on track with us. Steve

Bill, that is what Paul Harvey would call "the rest of the story". I lost
track of what Jack did after his car was pronounced done for the weekend. I
knew he spent a lot of time working on the Tornado and that the spare head
went from Jack's engine to yours. I didn't realize it was another liner
problem. He was probably spent by the time it got to our all night marathon.
I
forgot to mention that my son, Tom, was working all night too. I let him work
underneath the car, so the oil could drip in his face rather than mine. I
didn't have a spare oil filter, so we had milky oil on Sunday morning too. We
ran it anyway. All the water vaporized off during the first race, and the oil
was clean after that.

I could be wrong, but Larry might not be remembering that Hallett story 100%

car, and it certainly was not his mistake). The two and three liners were in
wrong. J K Jackson pointed it out, and Jack Drews led an effort to make 'at
track' corrections. It was an ill-advised, albeit enthusiastic effort, (the
figure eight gaskets got compromised). Kas couldn't bear to watch, and left
the area with a grin on his face. We had a ton of kibitzers, and Jack was
getting far more help and advise than he needed. I've got some great pictures
of Jack working to first get the liners out (enough to turn them), and then
to get them back in. We were using a really big hammer. Can't remember why
we needed Larry's head, but we did, and I returned it to Jack after I got
back home. We actually got the car running, but the oil looked like a light
chocolate milk shake. We had plans to change the oil and run it a BARBER the
following week end, but decided that was a bad idea.
