Replace the cylinder oil with some BBQ wet rub. That'll fix it for sure :lolb:
Best,
Stan

Eric, so glad to hear the news regarding both parents. The OT for your dad may be rough for a while but at least he is still here to go through it and that is the best news of all. Hang in there on the Red Wing. A few tweaks and you will have it running as you wish no doubt.

Well this one ain’t dead and neither am I. Finally got it kinda running after the paint job. Now she ain’t ready for the showcase, but, least y’all know I’m still doing something   :lolb:

Cletus, It looks, runs and sounds great to me. Nice to see it all painted up and done. Once you get the final tweaks done, take some glamor shots (of the motor that is) and put it in the showcase.

Well worth the wait.
Engine looks and sounds incredible.
Worth a few close-up shots.
