HEY BBT

[SERIOUS ISSUES]

NO BIESEMEYER YET. YOU SLACKER. WE FINALY TOOK OUT THE BOAT 2 WEEKS AGO AND ALL DIDN'T GO SO WELL AS YOU SAW. I RAN A COMPRESSION TEST ON IT FOR SAFETY BEFORE TAKING IT OUT AGAIN AND ONLY GOT 135LBS OUT OF MOST OF THE HOLES. ONE HOLE WAS ONLY 75LBS. SO I PULLED THE THING APART AND NOW I AM GLAD I DID. HAD 2 SPUN ROD BEARINGS. ALSO DID YOU KNOW THAT IT HAD STANDARD LEGHT RODS AND 454 PISTONS? W/ THE 427 CRANK I CALCULATED IT W/ 12:1 PISTONS AT ABOUT 7.5 - 8:1 COMPRESSION RATION. THAT EXPAINED THE LOW COMPRESSION. WE WENT AHEAD AND SENT THE HEADS IN TO HAVE THEM CHECKED AND ALL IS OK W/ THEM, I PUT IN A 454 CRANK, NEW BEARINGS AND NEW RINGS. IT WILL BE BACK IN THE BOAT THIS WEEKEND AND I HOPE BACK AT THE LAKE NEXT WEEKEND. I WANTED TO GO TO PARKER THIS WEEKEND BUT MAYBE NEXT TIME. JUST THE WAY THE BALL BOUNCED. cry
BY THE WAY, MY WIFE SAY'S 10K AND THE BOAT IS YOURS. :D I STILL NEED TO POST SOME PICKS AFTER ITS BACK TOGETHER. NEW PAINT AND WE HAD THE SEATS DONE TO MATCH. LOOKS GOOD.

A ENGINE WILL BE AN ENGINE, THEY HAVE BAD THINGS HAPPEN. THE SHOCK WAS THE 427 CRANK W/ 454 RODS AND PISTONS :confused: . THE CYLINDER WALLS HOWEVER DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THEY WERE HONED IN THE LAST 25 HOURS. SOME JUST PUT RINGS IN AND CALL IT A DAY. NOT BAGGING ON YOU argue argue JUST SO YA KNOW. THE PARTS ARE WHAT YOU SAID THEY ARE. :) .
NOT INTERESTED AT $10,000? :D
