Trailer - challenge truck build

Woo getting there !!



Although the pushrods are very close to the heafs so I may end up taking the heads off again, grinding out the push rod holes and refitting to give them abit of space

And remember what I said about not needing MS

Well my mate has decided to sell his kit, unused with a prebuilt ecu and a few other extras for a price I couldn't refuse ... sooo going to the MS dark side

Well not yet, getting the engine running first then switch over when i have time and its ready built up

Yey tuning

Is it worth doing the push rod holes? They don't really move around much.
And YAY nice! MS!

shes in !!



i've done a complete engine re wire getting rid of a load of obsolete and broken wires and beefed up the ones that are left and soldered all possible joins

i'v also strengthened and adjusted the engine mounts, moved 1 water pipe that was low and had risk of damage from underneith and trimmed the bulkhead to clear the exhaust better

just got to finish the water system and add a few bits to the engine and she's ready to start again

i had an air leak in my front diff too so stripped the axle apart to check what was wrong. luckily this 90 degree join had just come loose and was leaking air, so a simple fix



also straightened this



and cleaned off all of this horrible concrete muddyness from the welsh



oddessy battery series 1st round next weekend. she'll be done

Looking very good mate, well done. Not seen many HD bars bent like that .. but looks like it could still drive you home ..

Good luck next weekend.

It was rubbing on the diff but not too bad, I finished the weekend with it like that

Cheers mate hope to do well

Looking good

I have a question for yer regarding fuel system. Will be sorting fuel system on mine in the coming weeks (race tank in back). So will ideally need an inline fuel pump. Which one did you use?

Cheers.

Looks good. How come you don't have a timing light within you're massive array of tools?

ive never needed one tbh

most of the work i do is on diesels and any petrols are modern ones so don't need a timing light for them

ill have to invest in one though as i've got megasquirt to fit so there will be some set up involved for that

Ah fair enough

She drives
