that is what Paul Harvey would call "the rest of the story". I lost
track of what Jack did after his car was pronounced done for the
weekend. I knew he spent a lot of time working on the Tornado and that
the spare head went from Jack's engine to yours. I didn't realize it was
another liner problem. He was probably spent by the time it got to our all
night marathon. I forgot to mention that my son, Tom, was working all
night too. I let him work underneath the car, so the oil could drip in
his face rather than mine. I didn't have a spare oil filter, so we had milky
oil on Sunday morning too. We ran it anyway. All the water
vaporized off during the first race, and the oil was clean after
that.<BR>Larry<BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated

family="SERIF">I could be wrong, but Larry might not be remembering that
Hallett story 100% correctly. In fact, I think Jack was working on our
Thunder Bolt (not his car, and it certainly was not his mistake). The
two and three liners were in wrong. J K Jackson pointed it out, and
Jack Drews led an effort to make 'at track' corrections. It was an
ill-advised, albeit enthusiastic effort, (the figure eight gaskets got
compromised). Kas couldn't bear to watch, and left the area with a
grin on his face. We had a ton of kibitzers, and Jack was getting far
more help and advise than he needed. I've got some great pictures of
Jack working to first get the liners out (enough to turn them), and then to
get them back in. We were using a really big hammer. Can't
remember why we needed Larry's head, but we did, and I returned it to Jack
after I got back home. We actually got the car running, but the oil
looked like a light chocolate milk shake. We had plans to change the
oil and run it a BARBER the following week end, but decided that was a bad
idea.<BR><BR>Bill Dentinger<BR></FONT><BR><BR><BR>**************<BR>It's
