[quote=pittsburghracer]Make a few calls to possibly Indy, Best Machine, Bob George Racing, and any other shops you can think of. Who knows what they have on stock and willing to part with I have been in touch with AJ at BGR...He got me the one quote for a Callie's...Just didn't let me know lead time. Just in case you might be interested. http://boI will keep that one in mind. Got a call, it was straightened again and all polished up. Not sure if the guy was happy about doing it or not....We will probably heat cycle it in the oven at the shop and make a judgement call on it. We also have a run in stand we can fire it up on and just see what happens before it goes in the car this time. Might be something to think about. Lets try this again. https://www.thebalance.com/cryogenic-hardening-2340006

The .003 out made me think that the crank was warped. I don't know how just engine heat , even 200 degrees would warp a crank. I can see how welding could . Was the crank checked for straightness after the journal was welded up ? if not is the journal now out of whack to the rest of the crank ?
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Winberg will make whatever you want. Toured their facility past year. Not sure on lead time.
FWIW I currently have a Crower, Moldex and Bryant in my junk.

I'm so glad you are finally getting a fresh set of eyes on your engine. I know he's your friend but man you have had some issues for the ET's you are going. Good luck and I too hope it's a simple issue

Looks good, Randy. What was the cause of the low oil pressure? Are you waiting until next spring to fire it up?

Whats up with that oil filter??? Its a K&P Engineering re-usable filter. I have a couple of them I bought from Ray Bartons shop. I like these a lot better than others I have used. And sanwhiched between the Milidon pump & cover and the oil filter is an adapter to go to my Accumulator Just curious, was this filter on the engine when you had problems each time? Or is it a new addition since the rebuild? I have always been a believer in the more gimmicks, the more things can go wrong. Less is better for me. Good luck and I can't wait for you to get it going again. I really enjoyed the U tube races you posted.

Throw some salt over your right shoulder and find a few four leaf clovers. Did you use the same engine builder
