engine meltdown

update image

We were all set to roll for the summer, but a sticky oil pressure gauge tricked us, resulting in disaster. Twelve weeks later we’ve got a forged crank, a new oil pump, a roller cam - and of course a new oil pressure gauge. The crank and cam give us real 6500 rpm capability, as the original crank is a bit wobbly. What we really gain is durability over the long haul, so we’ve now got an engine that really will be able to run at 4500 all day. Look at the cool lifters.

We’re almost there - I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…
