will it never end....
I got a call from the crank shop where I sent my crank to be balanced. They measured the journals (just for the heck of it because all I told them to do was to balance it..), and one of them was +.001. It turns out that its the journal that was repaired. Apparently they didn't grind it down quite far enough after they welded it up.
It's a good thing they caught it, but it's adding another week for them to grind it down .004 before they balance it.
I think I've got everything else I need - finally - except for a few fittings here and there, so it's about ready to go together for real.
I got me one of those 3 qt accumulators, so we'll see if that helps the oiling situation. Unfortunately the thing's not small - it might be fun finding a place to mount it.
I also got a handy dandy starting line control so that I can actually use that button marked 'trans brake' to launch the car
I need to find a place to mount the air bottle for that.
My back is finally to the point that I can move around somewhat normally - I guess I'd better get out there and get something done...
