I was thinking about asking what it would cost to sleeve a motor. I've got all the pieces for another but it has a booboo in cyl #2. Then I realized my pocket and my wife will only let me do 1 project at a time so I oiled it up and wrapped it with round bale plastic
That's what I was thinking Darin, omg!!! I'm way to old for that!
My great grandfather is 98 this year. He still has a 3 acre piece of property that he tends too. A very large garden. And even though he just passed a road test an has a relatively new car he still gets on his bicycle to go for groceries or visit people. I think the old bugger could out ride me. But like he says, "if I stop I'll just get old and die". Lol
When I get a sleeve installed its usually 100-125 bucks. That's in a race car motor, I wouldn't think these would be much more.
Digging post holes until dark by hand??? YOU ARE NUTS BILL! Nothing personal bud, but omg! No way.
LOL!! That's the only way I have to dig them! I dug 15 post holes about 2' deep, which doesn't sound too bad, but I live in the Appalachian mountains.....lots of rock! Out of those 15 holes I had to bust rock with a slate bar to get them close to 2'. A couple of them only made it to about 18". Gotta do what I gotta do. I built a bigger chicken house and lot for my chickens.
I just got my rebuild kit and a bunch of other goodies from clay. Exciting. I went straight to the machinist so he can size up the holes and get started. Unfortunately they forgot to send the valve springs though. Not that it's a big issue though because the are pretty close to the same price here as clay offers them for so I told the machinist to just get them in. He's very busy right now and I don't really want anymore delays. I'll just see if clay can swap it for a gauge or something. I'm sure he'll make it right. Eta on getting the block done is 2 weeks. I'll get the heads in a couple of days so I can do the injector cups and send the tool back to clay
