Coming home from show Sat. I developed a knock. Hauled it home and found this. I had a vacuum leak to # 5. Hope I can get it up before summers over. 331 kit in the works. I have to sleeve # 5 because I want to stay with my original block.
Well, the little 289 block is on the way to the machine shop. Prayers for the little guy with the correct build date. I msomewhat attached to the car I guess.
AS expected # 5 has to be sleeved. Greg at machine shop thinks that ethinal (sp) leaned my pre-ethinal tuned carb out to much that basicly caused more heat that my rings could take. I didnt run E-85 in it just 10% everyone sells now. Wish I could find E-free gas around here. Well time to max out the credit card and build a 331. lol.
