Guessing valve seals more than likely.

Today has been a data whirlwind. Got home, pulled headers, oil filter, oil cooler off. Borescoped intake valves. 100% oil fudge cake going on in the intake runners. Started a conversation about Holley on Mopar, and got told 4 different ways not to run a dual-sync distributor. Apparently the...

that's on the sides I believe. Could kinda see the thrust side, and not the top side at all. We'll have a better idea once the head is off. We could pull the driver side head in the truck, but if we find something, I want to be able to pull the passenger head - even though all 4 on that side...

Got the dash back from HydroDip and got new back wheels on. Working on electrical. On the opposite spectrum...Got the trans in my truck after 4 weeks, only to find more issues...get to un-bolt it all again and pull the engine out. Thinking what the borescope shows is carbon deposits flaking...

Back wheels will be here tomorrow. Picked up tires in Dallas while running around for the day job. The dash also came out super nice in hydro-dipped carbon. https://photos.app.goo.gl/4ZQusW7dVJG7VQJZ8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/29LwW9e7Ck8qg6bu5...

Got the LED taillights installed and sorted out. That was interesting to play with - The tails were wires with Brake as hot and Running as ground. Works fine with a CK style bulb.... Once we got that sorted out, all looks good now. Also test-fit the LED headlights. they are BRIGHT for only...

It's a 10-year contract, so the course isn't going anywhere. Just a matter of the financials. Given that Liberty Media spent the better part of 540 million on the project, I surely think they'd do everything they can to get those full 10 years. Now if they can get the cost of attendance closer...

I like how ESPN nope'd out of sky's coverage and went to football. Not. Seriously worry some if indeed the cover was welded, and it sucked the whole assembly out of the pavement. Not good.

It's showing about 60 F there right now, so not terribly cold. Judging on how the safety car struggled braking grip off the long straight into the hard lefter, I think the concern of cold brakes and cold tires is valid there. Remember the brakes are carbon-carbon to my knowledge, which means...

Oh boy.... When the safety car is fighting for grip....

The opening ceremony was meh. I liked the concert aspect, but was expecting more human speaking and cadence.

Twin Peaks is better anyways

That's all eastern time. Local time is 22:00 start time. Still nuts across the board.

It's funny how much you think you know, but don't. Several things on this new car have been baffling dad and I, so I started reaching out to people smarter than us for answers. Along the way, I borrowed some AI technology and ended up reading a 1989 issue of Hot Rod Magazine, which then got me...

Making progress here and there. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JSQDf82QPFDMBgKx9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/ctrZqQv15JChTBKs7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/cfgSDvpk4TiPhXhr6

And Bandimere Speedway on the drag racing side.

So the Parade is exactly what i expected... A loop around the stadiums where the roads are wide enough to do so. Multiple school districts are closing because their SRO's are being used as parade security, and/or they are expecting staffing shortages otherwise.

Arlington is going to have a traffic/crowd control problem soon. Going to be interesting how they do a parade. The entire city - and I can NOT emphasize this enough - is 2-lane roads (1 lane each way) through and through except for the 6 lane sections of Collins and Stadium Drive that connect...

That got entirely too close to ugly entirely too close to the end. Listened to the first 4 innings and watched the last 5... holy crap. \ And my home team won....yet I still feel sick about that game.

I'll echo Fury's comment. He and I have probably 40ish years of combined IT industry knowledge, at the ugly levels no less (not the pretty turn-it-off-and-back-on level). It's an anti-spam thwart, which is why we had registration closed for about 2 years - we had an influx of about 40 spammers...
