Dumbo The Flying Elephant

The plates and the heads are real close, only a few tenths difference.

Better equipment = better results only if the operator is skilled and experienced. Jeff Taylor Performance is such a place. I went there with the liners everywhere, over .002 variation in places, the end result was the cylinders were round and straight and only .001 bigger. I got one more build or of my pistons.

I miss a lot from my youth, I’m sure everyone can come up with a punch line, but I miss my eye sight the most. After cleaning and inspection I decided to reuse the main bearings. I caught the light just right and the saw a piece of trash on the bearing that would not wipe clean. The bearing was starting to flake off. That would have been pretty after a few dyno pulls.
