Fourth is for a member on the Forum who is putting together a 1961 Impala Sport Coupe.

Wow, thanks Tom, I had no idea you were helping with my '61.

[La Hot Rods]

The first song i play in the car will be Stones Fad to Black in memorium to you James

 

[wristpin]

Second song will be Girl From Ipanema in memorium to Phil.

 

[Phil Reed]

Hey dude.....we ain't dyin'!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wristpin]

Memorium doesnt mean after your passing it means in thought if you. In Memory means you've kicked the oil bucket.

 

[wristpin]

Hey dude.....we ain't dyin'!!!!!!!!!!!

Notice Phil was ok for my choice of song for him....

[Don Jacks]

How far down in the hole are those pistons,James?

 

[La Hot Rods]

Don I have not measured that yet.
But I would say .010 at max.

 

[RCampbell]

Does the sharp narrow edge at 10 o'clock concern you?

 

[La Hot Rods]

Good point Russ.
I never put much thought in this engine because it was assembled as we got it.
Not the engine I would have built for what I am doing.

 

[RCampbell]

It might make a hot spot to cause detonation

 

[La Hot Rods]

I see what you are saying.
The first task was to make sure the cam we have been running was going to fly.
I have yet had the chance to inspect the assembly.
At least I know the pistons wont have to go in the mill.

 

[scott hall]

Maybe not the mill but the trash can.

 

[La Hot Rods]

Now Scott lets play nice. We don't have anything for you other than dumb luck to make a round.
I'am just an old hay seed playing around.
