  • Scott, I’m catching up here. Fantastic work. Like Justin and Roy said, we can all just look at these photos and understand all the time and effort involved.
    How do you heat your shop? You do heat it, right?! Cheers, John.

    • Thanks John for the compliment. The shop is my friend Bob - I pay to use and get lots of advice. Everyday is a school day with Bob. The shop is heated by a large wood firebox and boiler. You can load about 15 four foot long logs in it a day. It heats water pipes - heats his house as well and part of his airplane hanger. Bob if building/ restoring his third plane (still one more to go). This one we are getting ready to fire up the motor after 5O years of storage. It came from a museum in Missouri. Its a seven cylinder Warner engine from the 30’s. It’s a Great Lakes bi- plane - mostly canvass- for aerobatics he hopes. Incredible attention to detail on this aircraft he had done.

      • So the car is put away in the hanger for the winter and I have switched over to mechanicals now. A whole new adventure.
        completely stripped down the engine and started to investigate what’s needed.

        • First stop was to take some of my engine parts to Walt McKay. A porsche legend in Ontario. Fascinating man. A frigg’n legend in the flesh. So much knowledge. Crank is standard not ground. Most parts look in good shape. Now it will get expensive! Heads sent off for some work - new valves ordered as well as valve guides. I had Walt pull my end bearings that were being stubborn.

          • Found out my pistons were 30 degree not 22. Sent by me case half off to machinist to remove a stubborn snapped off cylinder stud. The off to have my crankshaft magnafluxed and polished. Another old time shop that will soon disappear. Used to be a much bigger shop when there was about 65 places rebuilding engines - now there is not much demand. This was like walking back in time. Canada Chrome and Crankshaft.

            • While waiting for the stud removal I went ahead and ordered the AAperfomance big bore piston and cylinders for my 1600 normal. . I am struggling with getting the correct cam with some mild duration. I reached to Vic Skiematts and he put me in touch with Leanord at nueteck. Waiting to hear back. Started to bead blast parts then epoxy prime and then sprayed with clear caf/zinc for valve covers and silver cad for the others. This is so satisfying to bead blast back to clean metal and cover in paint - seeing them come back to life.
              . Love the little details you find like the markings on the generator bracket that sadly fade a bit once they get primed and painted.
