this and that
Shawn,
I..er ..um.. yea..ya see it's like this. I have a set of Wall-mart rabbitears feeding the new converter box that feeds the vcr that feeds the old T.v. and the stereo amp. The T.V. sound card got burned up when I accidentally back-fed full signal from the megawatt Akai stereo amp to the sound out put on the T.V.. So now I use the VCR to send the audio signal to the amp and blast the room with some vintage Cerwin Vega speakers. The Akai amplifier speaker power relay clicks off and on sometimes, so then I have to whack it like a bad dog. To watch T.V., we have to turn on four devices with four different remotes. So.. we read a lot.
got to go but I'll give a-4 update tonight,
Russ
Update:
The block is at the machine shop. Ric the machinist grew up on a diet of flatheads and fifties stuff. He will dress the valve seats and run a hone through the guides to clean them up. they are amazingly good after a stuck valve. I think the oil just got all coked up in the guide and grabbed the valve the last time it got too hot.
He confirmed that my main bearing inserts were standard size(my crank is .010" undersize—1.978 inches). we (he) got the accessary drive idler shaft nut off, and found that the bushing and shaft was toast. It was heavily grooved. Talked to ken again and now have that and a few freeze plugs and accessary drive parts coming too.
Now I am already thinking about what color to paint the ol' girl. And a motor like this has to have a name. Motors need love too. I'm thinking Fireball..uh..wait no that's not so good. I'll work on it.
Another week maybe and then parts will be going back on.
