Default Re: TOP END REFINISHING

Add to the list of How-NOT-To's

After re-assembly of the P side rail LAST night, I did the FP test, and failed. I heard the air blowing, and let off the FP jumper.

Today, I found out why



When I sank the rail, I sheared off part of the O ring, just as clean and neat... That piece is probably under the starter. Guess where it's gonna' stay

When I broke it down, to find the wayward socket, the gasoline that drained from the INJ port, out of the rail, rinsed off the oil, and the port dried out. It HAS to be clean, AND OILED, as Jerry was saying. It was clean alright...

I had O's from LT1 top end re-work, and replaced it. WITH oil.

FP test result - tested with primary FP only, was identical to earlier FP test. The secondary FP, when plugged in, forced the air out (((not done yet; it was low 30's wind chill. If I'd had a wooden stick in my ace, I coulda' been a popsicle )))
