My 20r in the faithful 1980 pickup is leaking more oil than it burns gas. We use it daily for water hauling, fire wood, tractor duty, feeding etc so we can't really afford any down time. I need a plug and play long block!
I have this free '84 22r that was supposedly hydro-locked. The boys are starting up their home school curriculum after labor day. I thought I would put them on some applied math and hands on mechanical confidence with engine building. We have learning to use reference materials, precise measuring to the thousandths of an inch, differences in decimals, area of a cylinder, compression ratio calculations, valve train math. All kinds of things they have to learn anyway but I can show them why instead of just keeping it on paper in a book. Best part is when they are done it roars to life and does smokey burnouts!
I'm making them turn all the wrenches, make all the decisions and even do all the dealings with the machine shop and vendors.
Wonder what color they will paint the block
?
