Hey Daniel, sorry we missed you on your trip out West. Post up or let your sister know when you'll be out next. Have a safe trip back.
What happened to Hals boat ?
I am fearing more than the pump, now!
I got home, with my hangover in tow,(DAM FIREBALL and APPLE PIE!) and started tearing things apart.
With the bellhousing on and not being able to turn yhe engine , i cant get to the bolts to cut the drive line loose. So i unbolted the ujoint and split the drive line. Bad news is i can rotate the pump shaft at the splined end.
I have to get the drive line sll the way out of the way before i can try to turn the engune over !
I didpull all the plugs and nome are wet and all look normal, so i am prety sure a hydralick is out.
I did pull the valve covers and every thing looks good. No bent push rods, no broken rockers, springs, or droped valves!
I guess I will be pulling the motor, flipping and pulling the pan, to have a look see.
First i am going to pull the bowl and see if any thing is a miss.
