Steve first let me say that you have a fantastic talent and words can't describe how great your build is I have been following all your builds from day one almost. I have a question about the powder you put on your rings is it the same as Case Harding or is it something different. Cliff

It might be i'm not sure. There is a link to the product in post #695. (about 10 posts back). Take a look and see. It is an anti-scale product. Case harding is more of a quench liquid right?

the powder use for case hardeningis called casinite, but it is used to give a hard case on the out side and still soft on the inside.it will not help with the scale and the rings are so thin the case would go all the way through. just a piece of paper in the foil is all you need . just make sure each side has 3 folds and it will be air tight. jonesie

Sorry for the lack of updates but my photo bucket account is still down. Anybody know what the problem is?


Not missing much. Just painting the block and oil pan and a few other parts.

Steve, I was having problems with photobucket a few days ago, but it seems to be working fine for me now. Are you still getting the maintenance screen when going onto the photobucket site?

If I get these camshafts right, there wont be much purring going on.

I won't test the output power. I really don't care about that stuff. I just want them to look, sound, and smell good!!

After seeing your pictures I'm not bringing mine to NAMES. I'd be too embarrassed. Iv'e often said, "When you think you'er getting pretty good go to a show and look at really good work. That'll bring you back down to earth."
