<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Larry may have remembered the liner issue as the
cause of Jack's car being down incorrectly but the rest of the story was most
likely accurate. As I remember it Jack had some issue and they put
the head on Jack's car. The next day his camshaft failed putting
Jack out for the weekend, making the head available for the liner
spinning exercise. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>These details aren't a big deal, and do not affect
what is another great Jack story, but in this case Jack's car went
down because of a part failure that he quickly went on to analyzing. I
don't know if a universal answer to the cause of the camshaft failure was
ever arrived at but Jack had a cam that was ground on one a new
remanufactured blank. He surmised that there was a issue with the
camshaft distributor drive gear hobbing on these aftermarket cores,
affecting its mating with the distributor drive gear. The evidence was in
the wear on the drive gear. Jack at work.</FONT></DIV>

TYPE="CITE">Well said Larry. While I wasn't at your garage I was at
Hallett that year and remember your problems & Uncle Jack's. Just
shows that regardless of the outcome of the competition there is always a
good time to be had with friends.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></FONT><FONT lang=0

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
