Re: What did you do on your car today?
I have been looking at the heads and valves. Valve angles have been re-cut to proper angles and I'm replacing all the exhaust valves to be safe. Heads getting some clean up and work to the combustion chambers. Next I will have to source 90.5mm rings and hoping to re assemble the engine by the weekend.

Decided to replace the oil seal behind the flywheel
Old vs new
The new one is apparently better because its "vitron". We will see

Playing around with Rocker geometry on the 1.25:1 ratio rockers to determine spacing and push rod length for my 1776. Hope to get it set up properly and get her running even better!

Re: What did you do on your car today?
Played in the dunes today and took 2 extra condensors with to avoid disappointment like last time. Well I used up both spares and was towed out again.
Looks like Flat Four Racing gonna see me shortly for a electronic setup!
