Who's freshening up their motor over the winter?

[Todd Covini]

Just curious.
Seems as though Texan AI/CMC guys like to go thru their motors more than others I've seen.

PS- I hope I don't have to touch my motor. (Maybe fresh plugs...had them in since 2002.)

[GlennCMC70]

mine will be coming out for a "look over".

[Todd Covini]

Can't you just give it a "look over" with the hood open? :roll:

No money for that....so no plans for that. :o

This engine is supposed to have 165k, so it could blow up next event, but so far it is not using any oil and has not strange knocks.....so I see no real need to tear it apart.

[donovan]

I put mine in before the last event I ran... so I'm good!!!

Re-ring and bearing...
Had a bit of pitting in the #4 cylinder that really needed a bore job. Not in the budget.

We'll see what the dyno has to say.

Ah, this reminds me of my days as a facilities engineer in a refinery where I'd put my heat exchangers, vessels, etc on the plan for the next turnaround with the work scope of "open and inspect" 8)

Glenn, you're a nut case. Last time I "looked over" my motor it was made much more convenient by my motor when it blew open the oil pan :lol:

I should have mine back by next weekend. A blown head gasket @MSRH did some real damage so it had to be torn all the way down. After that, I'll run it until it breaks again.

The Thrash to get it ready will begin sometime in March! :lol:

That is next on my list.

I changed sway bar endlinks and bushings this past weekend and changed steering columns...since I couldn't get the slop out of the old one.
