Video of 216 engine on test stand

[Phil Waterman]

The engine on the stand is now back together, no new audio posted yet, but the little guy inside the engine with the ballbeen hammer is gone. Valves readjusted for the forth time and they are much quieter. Really, think I should have just run the engine for first 10 hours then readjusted the valves. But with the engine so easy to get at it really wasn’t a problem.

Only casualty of removing the engine from the test stand to readjust the rod caps was the voltage regulator reversed the leads and fried one of the contacts, works, but it now sticks.

Engine color there is no question in my mind that all three of engines were painted black, same black as the air cleaners and valve covers which have black under the decals. So let the controversy continue.
