was a 15.1 walk, few more races and i will figure out what rpm to hold on the line, as 1200 just doesn't cut it.

 

I had Lloyd install valve springs on Sunday. He made a tool for compressing all four valves springs per cylinder and I just couldn't see buying one for one use so I just had him install for me.

 

Sure enough, off by a second. I thought it was somethign .17

Good deal Angelo, at least it is done, and probably saved you a good coin and a ton of frustrating work. Wish I could have made it out there again, going to have to schedule around Fall Brawl for sure

 

So I talked to the Conductor and we are thinking about Island on Friday night. Hopefully you guys will get some more runs in this time.

Mike-box was wrapped extremely well and is in perfect shape. Now I need a truck to put it in.....

 

Hey guys sorry won't be making it this friday, will be heading up to burke VT to help friend move back. He will be paying for all the fuel SWEET

 

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrc just got back from tossing the truck on a lift, seems my lower ball joints are both shot, drives side front hub end u joint is shot, both wheel bearings feel questionable............. man when does it end ??????
guess i will swing by and schedule an appointment for the truck at the dealer, truck has 59 thousand miles on it now, 30 thou from last time balljoints were done. when will they figure out how to build these to last ?

 

They never will figure out houw to build these trucks to last. Especially the bal joints. They have been a problem for a long time

 

yea that is true i have my front-end all sitting in a box, waiting to go in
i figured out how to put vids on sweet

 

mike , you in for friday night. ball joints and all. im there SMARTY tommorow

 

Mike, that sucks about your frontend, sorry to hear that it all hit at the same time. Thanks for the info today about the rear, I bought them out of the gear oil, and am waiting for more to come next week for the front. Rear is draining now, figured I would kill some time online.

IDK if I will be able to make Island this week, I always have a hard time getting down there early enough on a Friday night. Spent much time today with the weedwacker, I think I have about had it for one day...

 

If there are a couple of people going Friday night I will show but I don't think I'm going to run the truck. It's getting dropped off this weekend for the trans and I would rather drive than be towed if anything were to happen. Once it's finished I will probably run it the next Friday night. Can we plan on Friday the 13th? I hope we don't have anyone to superstitious.

 

Friday the 13th would work better for me, maybe I will have a truck to bring with me.

 

wow that sucks' guess im solo. waiting for the ups guy right now with my smarty, so angelo stand bye lol. check that it just came

 

Just got back from the closest dealer to me, new one in west paterson, truck goes in Monday night so they can start on the front end woes tuesday morning, seems to me a 100 dollar deductable is not that bad, wonder what i will be stylin in this time ?????

I do not think a trip to the track is a good idea for me at this time, that front u joint is so bad it has me all nervous and jerky. and this is at civil speeds mind you ! If i do get it back in time for next week, the 13th sounds good to me.

 

yeh agree, wait till next week.going over angelos tonight to download smarty into my truck, and check it out.ill post some numbers late tommorow night.
