It does look to make the engine installation a more manageable project.

 

Why paint the engine white? It would look dirty quicker.

 

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe to make the leaks easier to see. I always painted LBC engines black to hide those leaks.

Man Minidave sure has a lot of energy!

 

Your engines don't leak. Better put some oil in them.

I'm sure your builds are of a higher quality than mine ever were.

 

Looking forward to hearing the engine run.

 

The car looks AWESOME! I really love the ole classics! Are you enjoying the rebuild? Besides the cold weather…

 

Hope you were able to get in a good test drive today.

 

Thermostat seems to be a common leak source.

 

The good old leaking Jarvic 7. There are two versions, one that is leaking & one that is about to leak.

 

That is AWESOME!! I love it!!

 

Not to be picky, but you need to clean that engine compartment.

 

No, no, no! You need that layer of insulating crud to protect the engine!
It's called patina.

 

I clean my engines at least once a year. It really is an easy job. If you let it go the job becomes much harder. Just my 2 cents....

Not surprising that hose broke. Being next to a cherry red hot turbo is going to do that. I know it's a pain in the arse you didn't want to have to deal with Dave. This is so much better than it failing while on a road trip.

 

I've always used that type stuff too. It was referred to as wiener slip. Sure does help on those tight insertions.
