Default Engine Adventures

I finally had time to stop and see the progress of my new engines.All parts are re-machined and cleaned and are starting to go back together.Short block were complete today and hopefully long block tomorrow.I am hoping for dyno this Friday and then I can pick them up and try to get them installed for this weekend.Lake George poker run is approaching fast,hope I can make it happen.

Who can identify who that tattoo belongs to?

LONG STORY,all I can say is that after a couple of attempts to rectify my problems I decided to use a professional engine builder.Turns out I made a very wise decision.This new package will be a ton better then the old,I cant wait to get them back in the boat and feel the difference.

I thought your builder finally agreed to do a full rebuild on both motors? Things changed since then I assume.

Ummm, Tune ups I think. I can't remember!!

Seriously, I had a small valvetrain problem due to running the "new" ethanol gas. JC stood behind his engines. He fixed it and then we dynoed the engine using the ethanol gas to "dial it in". I then made the changes to the other engine down here in Maryland.
