Last four pistons on the rods, cam bearings checked and cam installed to make sure it's a smooth rotator, Autumn got the rings filed and installed the oil rings without dropping a piston on the floor (I was nervous). Autumn has decided to embark on a little business venture and will market using YouTube and the racing so we're doing a little video taping now also which slows progress just a bit but it should be interesting with this kid.

If you don't mind, tell us about the oil pump in the picture. It kind of looks like a High Volume pump body. PM if you want.

We've been shooting video during this build phase and it's cool to go back and look at some of the interactions we have, very cool. Tell your son to keep up the good work!

Todd the pick up tube appears it’s not all the way driven into pump housing. Obviously the strut lines up with the bolt. Is there another step on the tube that is seated on housing? Hard to tell and I’m not familiar with that pick up.
Thanks for posting it’s fun to follow! |

Yes, it's a stock Melling +10% volume pump. The old one is a standard volume, I'm not 100% sure it hasn't been the problem all along. Gonna try this pump, extra oil in the pan and restrict the top end more than I had before. Time will tell on this one, the next one I'm going to start all new and cut back oil till it shows on the bearings on the dyno so I can see what I can get away with.

Saturday was slow going, more fitting and checking than assembling.
