I stopped using the straps after I acquired the snaps for the top bow.  I don't like the scratches the straps put on the window.
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

Decided to change the color. Spent a day removing green paint and applying blue paint. So today I started putting things together. Got the tappets in and the cam. Clearance looks to be .005. Went on the the crank. Started looking into installing the rear main seal. Seems the best bet is a rope seal.  Of course I have a lip seal. I don’t own anything that doesn’t leak oil but I’d like to. I decided to order a Best rope seal so putting the crank in is on hold until probably Wednesday. So I went on to getting the valve hardware ready. I said to myself. Self you need to watch out or you’ll lose one of them valve lock things. And you’ll never find it. Turned out to be one of them self fulfilling prophecy’s.  So a couple hours later after things were all cleaned up I quit looking for it.  This where I ended the weekend


tomorrow I’ll look into the oil pump. Was hoping to have this engine ready to swap in next weekend. Might still make it.

Good luck with everything. We have had this discussion before. You will be down on the garage floor searching and will find the part you were looking for a few weeks before. It looks like a Soft Tail. My Harley leaked too.

I find the best way to find something I’ve lost is simply to replace it. It will immediately and magically appear. 01 deuce.

I understand it. I was tearing down a part of a ambulance awning at the hospital and my Sawzall died. OK, I found things to do until lunch and I went out and bought another. I got back to the job and my first one works. My brother got a new Sawzall for Christmas.

New motor goes in in the morning. 

We’ll See if this was a good buy or not. Cleaned everything. Honed cylinders new rings and bearings. Has a bolt on the cam. And two different shades of blue paint. If it will run and isn’t cracked somewhere it was.

Got started this morning 
Took all day to get the old one out.  I guess I’m not as speedy as I once was. Looks like I need a new throw out bearing and a spring. Won’t get them till Tuesday or Wednesday. Swap parts over to the new motor tomorrow then wait. Ring gear is pretty torn up. Need to find out why.

Well it’s a brand new day.  Unless Napa has a bearing I’ll get by with this one. Get my Bubba on and make a spring. It’s just a spring what could go wrong. I’ll have the new motor in by the end of the day. 

Here’s the ring gear. Flywheel is getting changed. Just need to figure out what caused this so it doesn’t happen again

Manifolds took an hour and a half on a surface plate with 120 grit to get them this good. 



the intake is new. The exhaust is an old Willy’s part it was flatter to begin with just rough. Slowing down progress
