I was going to post that! Lol
And yes chancer, I did.

Back to work!
Engines make more sense than women.
Time to remove some material and see what it looks like.

Since the drop, my phone's camera doesn't focus so well anymore.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Hey that's nice work.

 

[bob58o]

O Reilly auto parts has the same muffler for 3/4" exhaust from the stage 1 kit for under $7

 

[bob58o]

Won't focus. Sorry. This was a practice gasket. I think grinding the gasket to shape will be fine. Also got RTV Red just in case!

 

[bob58o]

And the pipe...

 

[bob58o]

Better pics. Different phone.
Gasket is cut.
Just a little more opening up of the exhaust flange hole in two spots. One more pass with a sanding cartridge roll and it will be all gasket matched. No steps. One smooth, tapered transition from exhaust port to exhaust pipe.

It will look nicer than I thought it was going to after my welding.

And the pipe...

Annnnnn.....finally...we get down to the crux of the matter...put the cracked pipe down and walk away....

And now I wonder if you suffer from Aspergers or Asskickedbyhers.

JK...Luv ya man! Carry on!

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Oh there's 10-20 hp right there.

 

[bob58o]

There are some spots that look like cracks. It is all in the material I added while almost welding.
I think it hold up????

 

[bob58o]

And here...
Exhaust is finished.

 

[bob58o]

Exhaust port gasket matching 098- the pre-college class worth no credit hours. I estimate .....
+/- 0.0125 HP!

Those don't look like cracks so much as unfilled area's.

A mutual friend that I work with told me at least one of the blows came from a selfie stick. I guess her roommate had a contracted selfie stick laying around and that is what she was hitting me with. Might be BS, but now I really have a reason to think selfie sticks are the dumbest things on planet FaceBook

That's what I was thinking.

Permatex Ulta Copper Maximum is rated for 700 deg F intermittent use, 600 continuous.
Red is only 650 F intermittent.
I used some pretty abrasive techniques to clean the slag and spatter.
Hopefully the gasket will seal it, but I have a backup plan.

I don't think I will do the carb adapter. I'm afraid of losing the pulse signal for the pump and also somehow screwing up the flow of the intake charge.
Finished GAB????
Only assembly required at this point????
Milled
Ported
Polished
Gasket Matched
Valves Lapped
Chamber CC'd
P2V checked
P2H checked


It seems like I can put the head back on. I might hand tighten the carb studs and exhaust before bolting the head on.

I didn't get the stud kit. Should I? Blue Loctite on bolts if I don't get kit (unless everyone thinks I should, I probably don't want to wait)?
