Re: 1960 Bug
Seized the motor in front of the house, it was sitting in my driveway idling away nice and easy. Then started making a ticking noise, I shut it right down, I thought it was my trigger wheel rubbing on a loose piece of cooling tin. I pulled out the tin and then went to start it back up. The motor was locked. I found that I could turn it backwards though, then it would stop. Turns out that there was about 50 degrees that I couldn't turn the crank. Something was obviously in the cylinder stopping the piston. I pushed the car into the garage, pulled the motor, found a spark plug that didn't look as pretty as the rest and pulled that head. Turns out that #3 intake guide broke and sent a chunk about 3/4" long into the cyl. Luckily no major damage internally. I got a brand new set of CNC ported 044's to replaced the old pieces of junk. I can't wait to get it back on the road! Should make a ton more power with the new heads, and they are set up for boost! No turbo yet though. I got it running two nights ago, but still haven't driven it yet. Hopefully tomorrow!
