Go to the nearest part store and grab a cheap 5 psi electric fuel pump for $25.

i guess chromey couldnt get it fired last night...something to do with fuel pressure...tried 2 different pumps, still no dice. i bet he forgot the lobe thing the fuel pump arm rides on probably somethin simple.

anyways, he is in a bind trying to get to needles this weekend with the family....so im lending him the southwind cruiser.

The Chromeys will be on the water this weekend afterall.

Ecntric (sp) gear will get you everytime

Really stupid ? but you have the fuel coming in on the in and going out on the out?
Hey i made this very error in the past could not figure out why it would not build pressure well it was in the rtanks as I was pumping them full of air

« **Reply #82 on:** August 28, 2009, 08:58:11 AM »

well after a little "rotor" adjustment...lol she fired up just fine...needs to be timed though......but so far no oil or water leaks....just a small exhaust leak comming from a small dime sized freeze plug in the head on the drivers side ....epoxy to the rescue!

im hoping to go out to the lake saturday to test it and see how she runs......thanks all for your help and encouragement!

What happened

« **Reply #87 on:** August 30, 2009, 09:39:11 AM »

all i know is i looked back and no chromey so i chased down Nordic 454 to tow him back

« **Reply #88 on:** August 30, 2009, 09:45:29 AM »

josh said something to me about it via texts last night....pretty vague.

was it the top end or bottom end? what did it do before it went? how long did it run before it let go? is it just knocking or did it punch a hole out the side or pan?

give us some details.

« **Reply #89 on:** August 30, 2009, 12:15:11 PM »

to elaborate a little this is what chromey told me on the water! when he shut down when i pulled up to him he said its done! so i asked did you lose oil pressure? he said yes...then i heard clunky noises and she shut down! when on the ramp chromey said he tried to refire it and it wont even turn over...my guys spun bearing and something came apart!

And this is why you don't take apart old motors, just run the fukkers.

Real Sorry to hear what happened...Sucks.!

Sounds to me like oiling system / clearance issues may have been the culpret $:-\$

Having thrown more than my share of junkyard motors into old sleds and jalopies, I can almost assure you that motor would still be together had it never come apart. Stuffed a 283 SBC bored .080 over, about 150K miles, sat in a garage for 3 years into my 31 coupe, promptly put about 15K miles on it before I sold it, it's still in the car, still running fine. Hope anyone that is looking at junkyard/used engines learns from this...

« **Reply #94 on:** August 30, 2009, 02:02:41 PM »

Crap!!! I'm really sorry to hear this. This a a bummer of the thread but the way folks stuck together is a good testimate to the gang on here. Best of luck on the next motor....

SO TRUE>>> If ya gonna build an engine...do it right, or if it runs ...leave her alone.

I think if he didnt hurt the block this time we have enough shit to build him an engine. If we take this block (STD) and his old pistons (.040), still have major oil groves on the skirts, buy one new piston and bore the block to them.

« **Reply #99 on:** August 30, 2009, 05:03:05 PM »

Everything I offered is standard.
