New Hampshire CMP Barn 2011- 2012 HUP Overhaul

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Well I ordered a new head on the 21st and it arrived on 29th. Picture below shows the thing leaning against the shop when I got home on Friday. Had all sorts of labels warning the UPS driver about the weight 71 lbs, use hand cart, lift with knees etc. Appears well packaged rapped in many layers of corrugated card board and wood. Only got through the first layers of cardboard still have to clean the cosmoline off it.

Then I'll load it the block, crank, cam and head in the car and haul it to the machine shop.

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil any more progress on this rebuild?

Hi Cliff

I have been working away on it though I did not make my target completion date of the end of July. Work on the HUP has been going well with a few real twists and turns. What really has fallen behind though is posting progress photos to MLU and to my web site.

The back log of photos (about 1500) taken of progress and details is huge, now that cold weather will soon be on us, I'll try and get caught up.

And thanks for asking how the project was coming.

Cheers Phil

I am glad to hear that progress is going well and look forward to seeing the posts when you have the time to catch up.
