Week 3

Motor tore down, issues found (PO attempt to upgrade)

Andrews 57H cams installed - but w/ stock compression - was over cam'd

Valve seats honed - valves not lapped - losing compression

Heads ported - but poorly smoothed - shitty flow

Pushrods - material stripping off and embedded into the rockers - know issue w/ stock push rods



Many claim to be able to work on / upgrade a motor - much lessor group really know their ****


Out w/ the old - in w/ the new

===========

Cases sent out for machining

Damn. So your budget just went out the window. Are the heads salvageable? How big you going?

New tires, new stator, new primary drive chain, new fluids in all 3 holes, carb rebuild, and got her ready for the summer, just in time for the next snowstorm.

Budget was always a complete rework (9K or thereabouts)

It'll be a true 117 (bottom to top) - bullet proofed (w/ the good stuff)

eta - all the crappy work done..., does explain the performance it was missing

4 1/8 bore X 4 3/8 stroke

Here's the quote (too large for 1 image)

eta - Throttle body is a misprint - actually 58 MM

Almost square (equal bore & stroke). Good. Should be a beast. Did I miss the rods or staying with stock?

And that was what was missing on the top end - torque

This should fix that
