there is one in new jersey close to were i live also.

Looks like a really nice engine. ive never seen the spark plug wires routed that way. I think the russian v-12s may be a great deal for somebody. If i was local i would definitly check them out. my next projet im starting on are a pair of ranger v770s i just picked up.

Hello Miclittle, nice collection of stuff. want to sell me some stuff? I need a carb and manifold, 1 cylinder assemble and 2 rocker covers. let me know if you want to sell and how much. there is nothing here in the USA. my parts lead i had didnt happen for the big stuff. cheers Robert.I have nothing cheetah to trade sorry.

Nice pictures Wildside. #5 picture of the y pipe thing looks really bad. can you save that? I thought the part that came apart with blasting was part of the carb. I better start looking for that also. looks like your moving right along.

I think if we continue on the current path we will see no manufacturing due to enviromental group concerns,I dont know of any current graduates from schooling that what to work with there hands either. higher taxes to pay for our new healthcare, say goodbye to medicare. look around. we have monitoring cameras on every street lamp/phone pole in my area.( NY/NJ ) Lots of laws to “protect” us citizens from harm. I could go on but them you think im a crazy nut! and this is a airplane forum. feel free to attack my comments. I can take it.

Great pictures Tonyt. all I have local to me is a t-33 trainer crashed about 20 miles from home. ( its shown in the Weird NJ books. )

does it have the carburetor and spacer on it? would you sell them if it does? Took the starter apart today. was sticky with goo. cleaned it all up ,lubed up the bearings, cleaned up the brushes and rotor. works great!!

I had the same problem on the front cover. the big front bearing was the issue. its seemed to be pressed onto the crank. make sure all the lifters are removed. i sued a little heat on the bearing were it meets the crank. doest take much. you dont want to get it that hot or its ruined. then 2 or 3 levers on the cover and it came right off.it was a pain to get it right on the way back in also. if its wrong engine locks up on assembly. here is a picture with the xhaust going on. now i have to fix a stuck starter.
