havent pulled out the pamper motor just yet…  I hope it’s just a cooler leaking…   I plan on running it without Tin on the run stand I say we rebuild it though no matter what😁😁😁.

You guys ever use UV oil dye and a UV light?  It’ll tell you exactly where leaks are coming from.

I’m moving this up my list… cause I REALLY REALLY want to go to the sand dunes when it cools off some…. 😎

Gonna get it off the trailer and remove all the mock up engine stuff…. It’s time to do more than mock shit up.. 😎

I want to go to oregon dunes, little sahara, you name it… 😎

Started tear down on my 2332 last night…. changing cam, lifters, p/c’s, and probably heads….

Andy sold his sand rail when I was out there in June. Haven’t heard a word from him in six weeks. Still working nights in the tomato processing plant maybe, or just ignoring me. 🙂

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

Andy sold his rail??  SO I guess he concedes and looses the show down…. 😎 😎     Cause my ass is still going to the dunes!!!!  😎  😎  😎

So…. I am gonna put some axles in my tranny and what not and get my rail rolling again… 😎  Then start on the motor… 😎   I have been watching my idol Blake Wilkey and others pulling wheelies at Glamis… 😎

 

Gearing for reference.  Super diff so I can turn….. 😎  and do wheelies… 😎
