Re: Okay...I lied, Pavillions 9-10-05!

thanks Bill...you'd think after 3-4 years on this forum board [plus 1-2 years lurking] I could learn how to post pics in the body of the post instead of as an attachment https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif What's really disheartening is I see that even Belair knows how to post pics that way https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

Looks like the 396 that I had rebuilt for the Convert that we took on the Power Tour......I supplied a Brand new GM forged crank and was charged $3200 for the Rebuild at a local engine shop.....On the PT I went thru 7 quarts of oil and when I went back and said there was a problem with the engine.....YADA......YADA.......you know the rest of the story........pulled it out when we got back from the PT and still don't have it back........it's always gonna be done next week......don't worry.....we'll call you.....

Bruce.......I think it's just a Marina Blue big block "Thing"........

Relative to other things....it's not important........just annoying

Re: Okay...I lied, Pavillions 9-10-05!

I had a 68 CE 396 engine in the garage that I put in the same day as I took the bad one out....so at least I got to drive the car over the summer......

Re: Okay...I lied, Pavillions 9-10-05!

Hey Bruce, I hear those big blocks run good once you get all the bugs out...those bearings look like they should be good for another 100K miles though - you're just barely into the copper on some of them!

Re: Okay...I lied, Pavillions 9-10-05!

Takes a licking and keeps on ticking !!!

Re: Okay...I lied, Pavillions 9-10-05!

That's what was amazing...it did keep on ticking...though with the appearance of those bearings...not for much longer.

Seattle Sam...got any more of those burnout photos?

All right...who's the guy in the suit in the background? Looks a bit out of place...

Re: Okay...I lied, Pavillions 9-10-05!

Uhhhh, couldn't he have just used the parking brake. Maybe the front license plate should have said:

<font color="red"> Got Beer </font>

OK, I'll ask the dumb question.....

Did you remove the top ring after disassembly or was it already MIA https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Okay...I lied, Pavillions 9-10-05!

Hey Bill...that comp ring fell out of the groove in 3 pieces upon piston removal. CSI and forensics people are presently searching Belair's home/garage for the missing 3" piece of that ring we can't find here https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

That would certainly explain a lack of compression!!! Good detective work, Steve https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Wow, Bruce, that thing should pull real strong running on 8 cylinders instead of 7 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Okay...I lied, Pavillions 9-10-05!

The 3rd piece is embedded in my shin and cannot be removed....I was just cleanin her out one day... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

That's Gil's shop up at the LV Speedway where he does the 66 Nova repair/tune stuff. Thought about building it above ground, but I needed a pit to throw racing money in anyway https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif
