All about the Gray Ghost

[motorhead]

I've got the 2 gauge panel TR Custom face plate where the stereo use to be. Trans temp...and something else beside it. Can't remember what.

That reminds me... Someone posted a video of a guy showing off his cars acceleration and the other guy was like " ok that's enough!"  Anyway, in the video you can see he has 4 gauges across the top of the radio along with a huge tach. Also has 2 guage pod on the pillar.  I've been looking around for a something like what I saw in the video for the 4 guage pod and can't seem to find anything like it.  It may be custom

Motorhead, that's just too busy for me.
 
No console in the ghost but I like the idea.

Found a coolant leak.  Turned out to be from the weep hole at the bottom of the water pump.  Had another water pump from the barn motor but then decided to have a look at the timing chain. Factory gears and chain were installed. Found a deal from Cloyes on their true street roller and figured on replacing the timing set while I was in there as well as cleaning things up a bit.  Also installed a roller thrust button.  Was a bit concerned with setting the cam sensor with a volt meter but all went well and she's back up and running.


Also found a deal on some flow matched 42's with a 5.7 street chip without alky. Since the ghost will be a driver till the barn motor is done, I snatched them up. Should be here Friday.

Does not look like you soaked the roller chain for an hour or so in warm oil before install so I am guessing it will stretch even more than double rollers normally do?  Maybe the oil is just tooclean to see

Soaked in a pot on the cast iron stove for more than a few hours on 2 seperate days. I had one quart of VR1 20/50 left so that's what it was treated with.  Didn't soak the gears and I wiped it down pretty clean with a towel.  I was half expecting it to turn an oil color but it didn't

That should get oil penetration everywhere.

I won't use a roller unless the valve springs are about 135# or higher...or using a roller cam which has springs like that.

Not the top of the line but not at the bottom either

Thanks Jason.

Beautiful weather today so I drove GG to work

The white letter tires set it off nicely.

That's a thing, eh?  I never did that when I stuck a SpeedPro double roller in my engine 10+ years ago. Go figure.

I lube the shit out of the inside of my chains with chain wax.



It seems to work well with my motorcycle chains and they don't ride in an oil bath.
