Six Days!

Well in six days I will be departing Milwaukee to start the journey eastward. First stop will be at John Bartman’s Skeeter Lounge. I’ll be hitching a ride with Bartman (Rider #60) and his crew Billy Fingers and Casey. We will travel together spending a night in eastern PA after departing Skeeter’s on Sunday Sept 3rd. On the 4th we will roll into Virginia Beach, VA to meet up with the staff and other participants.

More preparation is continuing. The packing os parts and tools is 95% done. The latest work on spares was to prepare a set of extra intake pocket assemblies.

After dressing the valve face next is lapping the valve to the valve seat.
When done assembling the assembly with the spring, top & bottom spring retainers, and the valve keyway that hold the unit together.

More updates as we get closer. For now, that’s all I have today. Talk soon….
