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

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
