Been a few weeks so I hooked up the boat last night. Going to hit some spoonbills on Grand tomorrow.

I only got 3 bass yesterday..

Cold front moved in and they weren’t as active as I had hoped..
But they tasted great. That water is still real cold.

What have you gotten done on the engine rebuild?

Cleaned the pistons and ring grooves, ready for installation. Got the crankshaft installed and bolts torqued. Virtually every engine in the last 20 years years use TTY head bolts (torque to Yield) Triton engines also use TTY on the main bearings and connecting rods. (Only available from Ford) This is the second Triton I’ve done. The first was in my Van, V-10. The Van engine had 440k on it. One thing I’ve noticed about them is it appears Ford used Nikasyl on the cylinder walls. Both engines, on taredown, had no ring ridge and no cylinder taper. Stock bore size top to bottom. All I had to do was hone the cylinders.
Crankshaft still at stock specs.

Maybe Jason has contact information for Semotony?

Jason used to go by plcnut but I can’t find him in the member directory?

Haven’t seen Jason post in awhile either.

Have you talked to him lately @Workshop

 

[Sawdust Man]

Here's Tony's phone number I got from moparnut.


Edit, pm me for the number.
Was pointed out that posting it in public might not be appropriate.

You beat me to it.
That’s where I they are. Jason was telling me about it last spring when I delivered that square grinder to him.

If Chinese food is made outta cats & dogs, then I guess I like eating cats & dogs......

Some of the Sophisticated may say "Felines and Canines" but my neck of the woods would p'bly say " Puss an Poops" But I do like yer "poodled 'n Noodles".

It’s a hole. It looks like somebody used too long of a screw on the handle, and the screw wore a hole in the tank

Look directly under the screw.

i can weld it if you need

@Sawdust Man when you hit fence wire during a cut like shown is that instant death of the saw band?

It depends... fortunately wire is much softer than most fasteners....nails, staples, screws....this one wasn't too bad, so a normal sharpening outta fix it up pretty well.

It also helps that I was almost all the way thru the cut so I didn't have to do much cutting after the iron deposit, that heats up the teeth and really rounds em over.

Hard to find yesterday, but one decent fish. One other small one was it for the day, but I got out on the water for a bit. Couple of weeks ago they were schooled up in deeper water and with the new murky water flowing in, it is letting them scatter a bit.
