What’s the ridiculous amount of “clacking” that I hear?

A belated congratulations to you then, haha. So very cool to have picked her up. Great addition to the family.

Holy smokes! I’d love to make a casting of that intake manifold.

The picture is of the timing cover. The impeller on the water pump looked ok. I’ll take another look at it t’night after work.

The areas are good. If I can’t easily get timing cover set, I am going to let it be.

A bunch of friends of mine and I started a Friday night cruise. We started with 6, and the last one we had over 30.

There was coolant that came out of it when I tool the water pump off, and I took this picture shortly after doing so. It sounds like it would of needed more time than that to of eroded that much? I will look at my intake to see how that’s doin. Worst case scenario, I have to swap that too.

It was a motor that sat for ten years, but is supposed to have 30k on the rebuild.. Do you think the whole motor is eaten alive on the inside? Should I not assume it’s OK to run? I’m feeling a little nervous..

Great colour combination.

Your breather tube could be rotted.

I know Dayton makes them. I was hoping to find a used or nos set for a price closer to my budget.

No dice😕

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Does the Jetfire tank differ from the rest of the models? I am thinking this would be great for when I replace my motor with a mildly built 215.
