I got the new gaskets in fired it up [cl was in about 10 seconds of run time and I hear a pop on the other side of the motor, A fountain of oil went every where oil filter gasket gave out I geuss I will be getting a hi performance oil filter tomarrow that can hold up to the pressure. and spend a couple hours wiping all the oil off everyting But it sure did sound good[ddd

 

[Bonehead]

Thank's Bonehead, Got the oil under control. Only took 4 hours to clean up the oil mess

Ah, my favorite song [cl[cl Thanks for the great music

Thank's Ray, I do play requests

Got my shifter rebuilt and rods hooked up every thing is shifting smooth, adjusted the 4 link, finished bolting on the bed. Used the old hand break off the nash for the shifter. I have no camera but I'll get more Vid's on u-tube in a couple days.

 

[GJunktionMike]

Making only a little headway today. Clutch linkage is in, had to redo the mounts for the swing arm that I did 4 months ago but all is working good. Hope to get the drive line down to have it redone tomorrow. If everything goes well this means rubber on the pavment this weekend[ddd I'm still far from done but done enough for a test run.
