Good info-thanks gents!

Bob, out of curiosity, did the Egge pistons have steel inserts for strength like the originals, or were they the replacement style that included lots of extra material around the wrist pin boss to add strength?

Outstanding!

Richard, thanks for the update on that fantastic car. I don’t think a pic made it on the post-would love to see it!

Thanks again-John

Bill, I believe they recently sold that car for $8500. Charley had pictures on his site, the V-12 engine looked complete.

Nice story.

Bill, that is some real nice work on the steering column.

Bob, my approach to dealing with the engine rust is sound.

You would advise using another media for the blasting exercise. I’m certain Bill appreciates both of our feedback.

Bill, if you’re goal is to remove surface rust from the block, an inexpensive but effective way is to buy a $25 suction feed sand blaster as found at Tractor Supply and use sandbox play sand from Lowes or similar supply house. Last time I bought 50lbs it was $3.

You may use 150lbs, but it works fine outdoors. Might want to but a sandblast hood from Eastwood too. Follow it up with self etching paint on the exterior or WB40/SAE30 inside the crankcase.

Best of Luck-John

David, that was fun to see on the field at Hershey.

It’s amazing it went on it’s own.

Thanks for sharing.

Bravo for two great gents!

This task is a perfect example of never say never. I’m impressed with your persistence Bill-Bravo!

And like the song goes ‘a little help from your friends’

Adjusting tappet/valve clearance every 6-8K mi would not have an appeal to me…

Bob, you’re right, we live very close. Ha, ha-I think my vision is okay, but I do wish you a successful eye surgery today and speedy recovery.

I concur with the above: Ed & John are great guys and tremendous assets to the club-they are ‘show quality’ on the inside where it counts!

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

A bit off subject, but Ed is very handsome too.

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

One of the brightest guys I know.

Bravo to Bob!

Edward, welcome to the PAS! and thanks for posting the picture of your car. I think artillery wheels like yours in their last few years of production are really nice.

Best-John

Tony, another great line from you. Happy New Year!
