The drive was awesome, it's about the best way I can describe it. Multiple thumbs up, horn's, smiles...when we stopped for gas someone came over and talked my ear off for 10 minutes....I could not say good-bye...
What else can I say...!!!!
I do have some sorting out to do...the engine needs to break in and the rockers need to be adjusted, the clutch made some interesting noises, etc., etc. All in all the car ran very strong and I have no major issues.
The water and
oil temp were low and I have to call Doug on that...I have an
oil cooler and I think he told me in cold weather the duct tape the front of the
oil cooler...I forgot to do that as I was so excited just to drive the thing!
Water temp maxed out at about 80 and oil temp was roughly 60 I think...Oil pressure started hi, then went to rougher 60 psi.
The first rock that hit under the wheel well and hit the top of the fender well woke me up pretty quickly.
One last note is I got a real quick lesson on the clutch as part of the highway was closed (one lane) and there was a line of traffic going up a fairly steep hill. That was fun. Clutch is great though...Center force...
I'll be out today for sure...it's going to be 45 out max but I'll be toasty...
