Model A - "H2-FUCKING-0"



We ran the motor a couple weeks ago & hit a snag. As mentioned before, this project has been on deck for quite a while - so the motor sat with water in it for a pretty long time (bad, ouch, damn it). The water basically ate at the aluminum heads like acid on skin. Consider this a lesson learned. It presented itself as what seemed to be a blown head gasket, but upon further investigation and pulling the top end - we found the damage wasn't a gasket but that the head surface had been compromised. At least we caught it fast, ensuring that NO MORE damage was done.


Thank god for Rick from Rick Neil Racing. He took the heads back to his shop, to weld and resurface them. He changed the springs out and did a deep clean to get all the fucking cancer out of the water ports - plus did tests for any other possible internal leaks. Everything checked out okay.


Thanks Rick...


Juan helped (no one knows where this guy came from... but he doesn't eat much - so thank god for him)




roller rockers...


dual quads...



There is a grip more to handle before we take this thing to the streets, but hearing it run a couple weeks ago really got us pumped. Yeah, the motor gave us some shit - but what else can you do but laugh in its face. Rick handled the repair & we're owning this motherfucker. Tons of progress in a really short time. We'll keep you posted as things continue on...
