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.

I 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.

Certainly was a lot of metal in the pan. I do not know how exactly they measured it. I am assuming TIR was out near the repaired journal.

Really wasn't a lot wrong with it. Hell for all I know, I could have a stuck pressure relief spring and haven't found it yet. Bearings were showing issues.

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 ?

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.

Well, we straightened the crank again, and it now has only .0001" runout....new bearings are here, so we sent it all out for line hone, again...

Then, its ready for assembly....again.


And I see the photobucket again is doing somthing to my posted pictures..

So they were checking it over for line hone, and we have one cap that is a little loose, and that is a little tight...This is the first we have checked that after welding it up...So they are line boring it as we speak and then we may check the balance on all the components just to make sure.

Talk about a thread ruined by photo bucket wanting a ton of money every year to host my pictures....I will never pay for someone to let me host my own pictures...Good luck.


So a little update:

We have the engine all back together. Its been back together for a while now. But on the bench, we are unable to get more than 4lbs of oil pressure.

AJ, I will bringing it to you in the next week or so. Hopefully its just a small galley plug we left out and can't find or somthing stupid.

You definitely are not having any luck with that pachyderm! hopefully it is just a plug - definitely not the result you want when priming !

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

Over the years, I have not had a lot of luck with aftermarket blocks it seems.

So even if I get it right, unless I fully cage the car, its more than I need. But it would be nice to have it running again.

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

A couple of badly used fittings, a leaky suction hose, and, for some reason, the brand new oil pump.

Going to try and put it in the car this weekend. Start it up when we get a real nice warm day...

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

No...different engine builder. He says I post to much on the interweb, so I have to keep it short.
