Glad you had an uneventful day. I don’t see any reason not to share widely who built your engine. Word of mouth is the best advertisement.Yesterday, 06:58 AM -
A29tudor, I'm not trying to second guess your diagnosis on the rod bearing but at only 30,000 miles, to have a rod bearing go is pretty remarkable by my experience. I have 65,000 on one of my engines and I've never seen or heard of a big ned going. Any idea why your failed?10-18-2021, 06:08 PM

Cash or the lack of it was a prime motivator then. So what the usual weekend car enthusiast would've done is to notice how similar a ford manifold is whether it's upside down or rightside up. Then next thing...10-17-2021, 01:19 PM -
Reply to Day 15 - Poplar Bluff, MissouriLooking at the map of how you went thru Illinois going from Nashville to Popular Bluff. Must have just hit the southern tip at Cairo. We have taken some of that route before, US 60 right? Nice to get off the Interstate system and see America. Nice PIcs. The Hermitage is a must see., we just love Nashville--- Honkey Tonk Row is a fun evening.10-17-2021, 07:00 AM
