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

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.

Comments Off on back from greenhouse

By Dave, April 14, 2004 5:34 pm

just got back from <a href="http://www.chefsgarden.com/catalog/default.php">the Chefs Garden</a> greenhouses. ended up spending more than i had planned to but they had a bunch of good plants that were cheap enough to try. Most of what they have are old varieties that are not hybrids so should reproduce fine. got tomatoes, peppers and horse radish. went a bit overboard on some of the tomatoes but hope to get a fair amount out of them too so will see…

got a few pix that i will try to get on here or make an area on my site to display.

so will be able to do the entries on here or in a standard text file and upload / post them. same thing as what i am doing now but in a bit easier way. will try it for a while and then make a decision.
heading for a plant farm. been doctoring my arm and fixing to take a shower. mom called and wanted to know if we wanted to go with them so am heading that way as soon as the shower is done.
