FRPP Cams Installed

[Windveil Blues]

The cams are installed. The timing looks right as far as TDC on number one and the cam lobes being where they're supposed to be on 1 and 5. All I have left to do is reassemble everything else... valve covers, coil packs, battery tray and battery (need a new battery, too), 15 million electrical connections. Everything is torqued to spec and I was able to make several full revolutions turning the engine over by hand. No binding or valves hitting pistons. I had to stop working on it yesterday because of bad feet and bad back. I am just getting too old to stand on a concrete floor bent over a damn car for any length of time any more. I'll finish it up and change the oil before I fire it Tuesday night. I'll post up some video then. 71 degrees here on Tuesday... Giddyup! Expecting severe thunderstorms, though... of course.

Emilio,

I'll post some pics when I get it finished up and get some video and audio shot tomorrow night. I did take a few as I went along. Too much family stuff going on the last week or so to work on it consistantly.

I know how you feel. Mine always take longer by yourself and when you have to work around plans. I'm glad I have a garage and second vehicle to drive If i have to.
