looks like i am going to have to do a valve job on the engine in bertha. still got a dead miss in one or two cylinders at low rpms. my guess with the bent push rod is a bent valve also. so… gasket set is gonna run me another 75 or so. guess that is what i need to do. may as well go and see rog in the morning and see what all he has in stock.
head gasket set
intake manifold gasket set
water temp sensor
push rod(s)
oil
filter
cleaning disks ck price
will know more when i get them off.
trying to get my shit back in order… as it were. out under the awning this morning. looks like rain may come in so guess i need to go and do while i can. will try to get back to this soon.
and afternoon under the awning. tis after 1 now. been working on bertha. got the carb removed, intake polished, studs locked back in place and carb reinstalled. tightened the intake manifold bolts down too. replaced 2 plugs. again. 1 and 2 are still not burning right. wondering more and more about just gettiing an intake manifold gasket kit and pulling, cleaning and reinstalling it. tis still not running right and it seems like a vacuum leak as it runs fine at higher speeds. of course it could be that carb. have rebuilt it but could have missed something. seems like i do a lot of the time lately anyway. ah well
got the motor mount nuts reinstalled. forgot to put lock washers on. may remove them and do it right or may wait till i do the bushings. gonna have to jack it up for that. really need a pad to work on. little at a time i guess is the only way i will get it done. oh well. life goes on. for some of us.
