Clogged condenser Clogged condenser
While the engine was out for an overhaul, Jon decided to pull the condenser to clean it out - and he found a few pine needles had collected in there. Could this be why she was running hot? :-)
Bob Sweet's 110 from his '61 Lakewood, 5-1-04
The victim head with the piston
Looking at #4 chamber (center) you can see what's left of the exhaust valve seat, after being pounded for 1,000 miles or so to get it home. This shot shows the rest of the valve seat embedded in the piston.
Mark Murphy's 140 from his turboed '63 Monza 'vert, 5-1-04
Dropped seat carnage, close up
One of these things is not like the others... and is not right :-( Closeup of the dropped valve seat
