Sparky-(Admin) 26,356 #10 Posted Saturday at 08:28 PM Huge crowd! Perfect weather (no rain, wind or humidity). Only casualty was my son Brads Magnum 8 let go and his day was over. Well actually he just transferred his butt over to one of my rigs . Currently his Mag8 has zero compression. No hole thru the block though. That’ll be a winter project. Bought nothing other than a 6 gallon fuel jug with the old school nozzle that actually pours. Best part was just hanging with the WH crew. @wallfish @Retired Wrencher @VinsRJ @Handy Don @Chris T @grnlark @whtractors24 and a few others that aren’t membsrs here (bizarrre right!) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea, was maybe half throttle at the time. No horseplay was involved We’ll pull the head, see what’s not connected. Maybe the cam busted?? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 17,473 #15 Posted Saturday at 10:05 PM (edited) Lots of new machinery in the “museum” area. This Make and Break engine had a waterfall cooling system (kinda like rooftop chillers) instead of the more common simple water jacket. I’ve never seen this before on engines of this era. Temp gauge showed the heated water was at around 100º F. Edited Saturday at 10:07 PM by Handy Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
