first run after rebuild (eh...take two...)
Hello people!
I wanted to tell you about my succesfull first run of my recently rebuild Fe motor!
you can find pictures here: http://stommieteiten.spaces.live.com/
(yes, it's in dutch...but the pictures tell you enough, I think)
I'll be honest with you, it didn't start right away on the first try...sorry, i had the ignition, eh, excactly 180 degrees off!
anyway, once this was put right, it did start right from the first try!
One question raised though; even though everything seems pretty much working as it should, it sounds like an old diesel! Don't get me wrong, it runs very smoothly, in idle as well as slightly higher rpms, but I wonder if this has anything to do with it still being fresh and very tight?
besides the valves, I can't think of anything that would create that rithmic rattling noise from within the motor.
Because of the fact that this is my maiden build, I'm really not sure how to label this, "problem, chubby!" or "chill mate, it's allrite!"????Last edited by Tommie; 11-23-2006 at 02:04 PM. Reason: updated vid...second try
Going sideways through a bend isn't considered normal or even sane, so that's the way I like it!

My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
