Darton Sleeves

Well I really hope one of them has a spare for you. I'd much rather that then part with mine, if I don't have to.

Any upgdates from either of them?

 

No not yet

 

I have a crank but some counterweights were somewhat damaged by flying debris when the rods let go. It may be useable? I have no clue

 

I appreciate the offer but I don't want 2 take any chances lol

 

U no want franken engine?

 

Lol I've had that twice already don't want it again

 

Got a crank from gadget this morning took it 2 darton they should have it done by the end of the week

 

Alright man. Good stuff. Take a picture of how you fix that plug too, if you don't mind.

 

I'm gonna find a pipe end cap tht is the same size an thread it in there that sucker won't come out. You should ask darton 2 do that 2 yours

 

surprised that the plug came loose. glad your getting it back on track.

 

update number six rod was hurt also they are gonna try and machine it to make the bore right will make the rod a hair shorter but will probably be a good thing so next week should get my engine back and ill start assembly again

 

Poor rod.

Best of wish all else turns out just fine.

 

Ok update on this money pit i call a truck the rod was able to be machined an everything else is ok with my engine. I start my new job Monday so ill be humping all weekend 2 finish my truck. Then next Saturday ill be getting it tuned again. Everybody start prayin that everything goes smooth

 

Well that there is a sigh of relief, for the rod. I have a strong feeling that you will be able to knock it out pretty quickly. Did last time.

Got to get some videos and pics of the turning.

 

good luck with the new job and gettn the truck back running!

 

Thanks man

 

Just little update truck is running no issues new fabd aluminum radiator is in new oil return setup is done an just drove it with the tune I had before I lost oil pressure last time 11 psi with 378whp that is fun but Saturday the real tune is happening 550whp is what I'm gonna do 2 be a safe dd

 

So you have the Ron Davis Radiator in there now? Need to post of some pictures man! Don't be stingy.

Glad to hear that it is running and alive again. No time to be wasted. Need to post up some graphs and videos of how it sounds when smashing the skinny pedal too.

 

Lol I will I'm gonna take pics 2day. I was workin my ass off didn't have anytime 2 do anythin. Yes I have the Ron Davis radiator in there. It's a ford rad that has the right hose location it's a little smaller from right 2 left but is rated for double the hp I have. Actually used the stock rad layout and cut brackets out of aluminum and welded them to the side of the rad an it bolts in like stock it even uses the stock bushings. I had to cut down the shroud on the efan but it all fits so perfect now
