shouldn't be to hard to do that and set the pinion angle but once I get the long tubes back and I'm ready to get that and most of the exhaust system on I'll let you know. Should be able to start it up at that point, minus having a catback system on it
 
Got the pinion angle set on tuesday, was not to hard at all once I knew how to properly adjust them.

Been awhile since Ive had all 4 wheels on it. At least I'm done working on the rear end.

Oh BTW Fred I got my other jack to work. Did not have enough fluid in it. Works awesome now.

No. Might just sit there for quite a while. Just too many things going on to deal with the engine. Too many other projects around here plus problems with my mother's health. Those things have been keeping me busy. If cylinder #2 was OK then I would have taken the car out at least on occasion.
 
the cranking pressure is down in that cylinder. Could be a broken or damaged ring. Or there could be worse things.
I knew quite a while ago that there was too much pressure in the crankcase and it was probably being cause by blow by. That would be a good reason why the PCV blew out of the engine when I last ran it at Epping during the Street Stang race. That was almost 2 years ago. Remember that one, you were there.
That kind of stuff could also happen to a NA engine. You start beating on anything and eventually something will give.
 
Ive been racing at Epping for quite awhile and made a lot of pass's with this car and so far nothing has broken mechanically or internally. Figures you give it the business one of the few times you take it to the track and something like that happens.
