We're not worthy.

 

I'm with all of you right now. So sad to hear my friend.

 

@Sperrunner @01x4 I still like the idea of this 70 series body that is mounted on an 80 series chassis with a 100 series engine and transmission and TC. Easy to get parts for it in the US.

 

I believe it is a hydraulic style tensioner and I know I did have a slight oops with it earlier in the process I'll try again and see if I have better luck. Hopefully I just had a bit of slop in the chain that caused it. The weird thing is the chain drives a gear, that then meshes with both cams in the head so the chain should effect both cams, odd that only one was giving me issues. Thanks for the feedback. Still trying to learn here.

 

holy shit, that is actually pretty awesome lol

 

Knew I couldn't be the only fan here

Just saw this on FB, before/after at Lahaina. Unbelievable

Slack will switch between the banks as the chain travels

 

I'll play with it again tonight. I'll tighten but not torque the bolts and follow the procedure to see if I keep fucking up in the same way haha. It's possible I slacked the chain during all my work since I left the breaker bar on it and may have bumped it. Timing at the crank didn't move but whatever lol

I hope to get the car running this weekend. The longer it takes the more doubt that I'm a clueless idiot whose gonna ruin his engine creeps in more and more

 

Damn that sucks. It was such a a nice spot. We did our honeymoon in Lahaina and Ka'anapali. I always wanted to go back.

The 70, 80, 100 series local truck build that I posted about was built to be like the one that Slee built.

Rebecca and I got married in Big Basin Redwood national park up near the Santa Cruz mountains, couple years later those big Norcal fires in 2020 tore through there and burned a lot of it down. Sad stuff.

Redwoods are pretty resilient though but I heard a lot of it was destroyed.
