What Did Ya Get Done This Weekend?

[Sid]

I spent Friday and Saturday at the PIR and Expo Center swap meets here in Portland. Probably walked 8 miles, spent $15 on parking, $29 on admission, and another $20 on a hot dog and water. I came away with a cowl vent gasket and used window regulators. Flathead parts where at a premium. Used blocks for $1500, give me a break. Actually I thought all the prices where a bit high.

Moved some rocks still cleaning up outside...... waiting for a load of gravel for next weekend. Driving up here when its rainy sucks- hopefully all this effort will remedy the sinking feeling and spinning tires..... and keep the landlord off muh arse....

Started cleaning my shop out and rearranging some stuff. Cleared off a bench and plan to put a plywood back on it so stuff doesn't alway fall behind it and get lost in the black hole lost zone behind it. Going to remove another bench to make room for a band saw and to put my 20 ton shop press. That bench is just a catch all for junk so if I remove it I can cut down on the clutter. Right!

This will give me some more room to bring the 34 5 window Coupe to it's new home! [cl

Also trying to figure out why the key pad is not working on my Harley edition F150.

Started reassembling the 331 stroker for my 27. After tearing it completely down I found NOTHING that would have caused the knocking sound, and after checking the machining found everything to be within specs. Soooooooo, it looks like what Scat and Keith Black pistons are telling me is true......forged pistons on a stroker crank are noisy until they warm up.

I got the engine back to about a short block status, and as soon as the rest of my gaskets show up I can put the heads and rest back together. Now I just have to hold my breath when I fire it up again to see if they were right.

Don,
I've had that slight knock B4 on start up of a new engine but it usually went away but oil pressure plunging is another story. That would make me pretty nervous!

As for this weekend... I didn't feel my best, was lazy & took the weekend off!

Visited my engine builder on Friday. Another month, been told this for over a year. 3 more weeks and then I am picking it up and doing it myself, of course I will need to find someone to do the machining.

Saturday, machined one mounting block for my fronts suspension then went to a car show. Lots of cars, nothing to exciting. There was a 1936 MAster deluxe Chev for sale, all original and running, $6500

Sunday, spent the day starting on my seats and finishing the door rocker to go with the new floor. I will post up pics of it all on my build thread when I get the chance.
