K-21 #1

[Buckshot]

Took the K-21 engine down today to inspect and change bearings for the season opener next weekend. This is after approximately 4 gallons of 60% w/18% in an outrigger.

Cause I though it should have been cast with FOR AL on the case.

It was mid morning, I was still nursing a Kahlúa and coffee.

Al has WIB 6000 big bearings in stock. He has the small bearings on order from WIB.

4 gallons on a .21 is a buttload of running, motor looks really good Buck.

Both Buckshot and Mark Grim got test engines. Both ran their test engines hard, so we could see what, if any changes should be made prior to production runs. I asked them to run their engines hard so we could find any problems. Buck's photos are of that test engine.

Based on their experiences, the production run has a minor change to the head buttons and the flywheel.
