In a way, I am starting to get a little sad. Once you turn the fast approaching big corner on this project, how are you going to keep us entertained?
Remember is needs paint, custom seats and wheels....it'll never be finished finished. Also there is the flathead V12 boat project waiting to kick off.
Today I got the exhaust and oil systems installed. There is oil pressure and the return pump is working too.
I did a compression test and 11 cylinders are in the 140-150 range but cylinder 8 is 125. not sure what to make of that, it was middle of the pack on leak-down.....I squirted a little oil in and nothign changed so I'm thinking a little dirt on a valve. It's plenty good enough to start and run so I'll proceed and check it again if I get the thing running and see if it's improved.....
Left are the alternator, coils, plug in the wiring, load the latest version of the ecu model, fuel lines, and the dreaded filling of the coolant which I will do last....so 1/2 day meaning it may be ready to try after lunch unless something gives me more trouble than I expect.
