Waiting
Nothing happens on schedule.
I guess this is just a status. The cylinder head is completed and we
drove up to picke it up from Ft. Myers. Lomont's did a wonderful job and
we have it all back together now but I'm waiting on new tappets and push
rods. I have one cracked tappet and one bent push rod. But of course I
didn't find that till the day I tried to clean up the block and put on the
new head gasket. I checked with US Metal Fabricators and the parts were
in Alabama as of Thursday afternoon. I hope they arrive Monday, The
injectors tested bad and I need new tips to rebuild them so those are on
order as well. On a good note it's a wonderful place to be stuck, but
it's very hot now and muggy. Temprature in the boat is running in the high 80's every day.
