See ya in a week 1916cc steroids coming back...

Peter Leonard · 2003-11-01T06:58:24+00:00

I'm heading off for a major heart transplant for Hoobie, up at Coffs Harbour (yes, it's Pobjoy territory 😉) any guesses what's going in? I'll take a whole bunch of photos (if i remember) and post them up to see what happens when you abuse a 'base' 1916cc engine for five years or so. Hope also to get some photos of the rebuild and painting crap that I'm cramming into the space of a week. engine only. 😀 woohoo 😀:P

Yeh but to go quicker I need better tyres, hopefully next year I'll have some Yokies from CT.

hoodjax in residence here 😀
oil change and figure out which one of the five notches on my old pulley is the right one to time by.... and clean out the pilot jets... and retorque heads and check tappets and fit decent exhaust..and THEN drive it like I stole it 😎
looks like I'll be waiting a bit to drive it like I stole it 😉
