When mine went I had 65 thou endplay Adam. It was in the crank at that point. At 40 thou I think your crank will be OK.

All up & running , valve train not so noisey since tightening valve clearances .005" from cam card , seems to be a bit harsher when put into gear with the new vertor , will take it out if the weather hold off tommorow , wanna see how this convertor performs.

Runs like a raped ape Dave

, had to mess with the carb as it did'nt like the tighter valve clearances , could'nt clean the idle issue up tweekin the mixture screws , would hang around 1300 rpm for a while then drop back down to the idle setting of 1000 rpm , @ one point i had the mixture screws hangin out

& it still wanted to pull fuel from the trans slots when idleing down , did'nt have any idle air bleed blanks for the dommie so soldered the ones up in there & drilled em .020" smaller , idles well now.

Cut the filter up & all looks good so far , will check crank endfloat on a regular basis as it's got me paranoid , oil pressure is around 5 psi higher than it was previously , thought i might loose a bit due to the bearing mod , also increased oil to the spray bars but all seems to be fine.

Will see how it performs @ the Nats , will renew me breakdown cover.

Nice one Ad and just in time for the Nats.

Looking forward to seeing the Punisher run next week.

Me too, not seen it run yet with the frame twister in

Stu · Post by **Stu** » Tue Jul 14, 09 8:21 am

Bloody hell, Ad. Up and running again!

Fair play Mate. On my list of must see's at the Nats.

I think you deserve committing for all the commitment to the cause.

Or a medal. One of the two.
