Thread: first run after rebuild

Tweet

good to hear you didn't have anything major going on in that motor and it was an easy fix..... good luck with the transmission.... just remember to get everything back together right.... then again i've built auto trannies and had quite a few parts left over but they still seemed to work fine... but that might be plain old luck.... i personally think the worst part is the valve body... those things can get pretty annoying...

yeah! I'll probably have three reverse gears and one forward, no neutral and a park, like throwing out an anker, when completed
I actually went to class for this, to learn a little bit more...(2 day course, called "kickdown")...I think I actually learned something...just have to proove now that I did!

I'm almost ready to go for the second run...just have the electrical to do ("just", because connecting is easy, sorting out the wires is the hard part )...I'm connecting some gauges also this time, so I have some more precise readings...
I'll make a new vid as promised...(when all the minor adjustments are done and I'm feeling pretty sure that it won't blow up, while I'm filming )
I'll keep you posted...expect a new run in about a day or two...

grtz,
Tom

and here's the new vid...

this time without the scraper...
and yes...it's dad filming...even the floor is interesting to him!
seems pretty much okay now.

sounds wonderful now.....sounds like it might need a little adjusting still but nothing critical...... i'm glad your engine turned out succesful for you.... its always a bummer when you build an engine and spend a lot of time and money on it and you end up with a major failure......

true...(that's what I'm talking about in the vid, about needing some fine tuning, but I forgot the english subtitles! )
It's my first build and I admit, I never expected to get everything right the first time, but I'm sure glad i was able to solve the problems that occurred...(not to mention the thoughts about total failure along the build...)

I'm actually pretty relieved right now!
okay, next!...now it's time to screw up my transmission!

Tom

Glad to hear that sound ,instead of the last sound it was making!!

Glad it was a easy fix!!! Those are the best!!! Congrats and hope she's still running good!!!

Sounds like too much timing too me.
