Small block left a good job in the city
« on: October 09, 2018, 10:34:34 PM »
Creedence for those too young

Just back from visiting the camshaft man, forgotten more than I can ever know

Pete has sent me some roller tappets from current 1400 for looksee at converting my Lario, course I could just wait and buy a V85 but patience and I are not always friends.

They will fit, he can write the cnc program, only worry now is the finish he can get on bores so I need some cases to sacrifice to the cause before doing my good ones.
Pm sent to malik as I know he has cases that chucked rod, any other is oz I can have ?

He is also making me a billet cam, modifying tappets to take pushrod and a few little tricks besides
Don't hold your breath but I want this done before V85 lands,  place yer bets gentlemen 2v roller vs 4v roller, aus cam designer vs factory.

Thanks Pete for rollers, Mike Wren for starting this madness in my head, Chuck for old engine  and Mal in advance for cases to test on

Not sure where I sit, several months yet till I hit 60

But I am writing a book about the story, someone might buy it, some tech, lots more English at my grammar school best.
Your stage name a bit odd, are there any other kind of frogs ?

Plenty of Frogs all over the world Jackson.I use it after having been bullied at school in England ( Wandswoerth Comprehensive) by racists ( 2 black british , one of pakistani origin ! ) because I came back from France as a young teenager and didn't speak very good English for a year or so. Very harsh memories ...now I laugh at it because the root of racism is ignorence and stupidity.The NF would have made a meal of it as you know but I wasn't going there either.

mais peu importe où la grenouille habite réellement, il est toujours français?
bon chance mon ami

Sorry Chuck no pics yet, could take one of case in mill but not very exciting
Actually none of it is very photogenic although I will record all as it goes together
Best shot will be of all yours and mine useless parts
A ton of "Offerings to the God of Speed"
I think the man that rebuilt yours after cave in must have been related to the one that did mine
So many travesties of justice together.
My cost is in the undoing of evil, wish I could find a few nos Larios that have never run, this would be a quick job if I started with new
