After putting the engine back together over the weekend, we finally made "thunder" Tuesday. I let my dad have Wednesday off, and yesterday he made a few tweaks to the injectors, as Enderly told him to do so, since 5 and 7 were not hitting. She actually held 75+ pounds of oil pressure at a constant rate and came to life with the little wholes he drilled. Stood her on the transbrake, she sounded great. It's starting to come together and I couldn't be happier.
There is a race next weekend, May 19th and 20th. But there is a Test n Tune the 18th. Unfortunately, I can't get the time off work, so my dad is going to take the dragster out and start to make passes for his license. I guess, kinda break her in for me.
I'll post some pictures of the engine rebuilding process. But I only have a few. My hands were getting too greasy to snap pictures after awhile.
