S P E E D S T E R – FORZA

The van is gone, the GL is gone, the Buzz is not a workhorse.

The Answer – F150 Lightning, this time the XLT in avalanche.

If you like Chris Harris this video is a gem, it is actually Max 😉

This engine is quite fun, 6 cylinders, SOHC and non adjustable valve opening.

Cylinder head rebuilt with new guides, valves, springs and a 3 angle seat job. Cam towers and the angle drive must be shimmed in place. This is time consuming but everything need to rotate without binding.

At the moment waiting for 0.05 brass sheets for the final shims to be made up.

Valves must be ground to get the correct clearance, I have not decided whether to use the mill or bench grinder. Patience and a lot of iterations will be needed.

Just finished building a mezzanine in the workshop, office and warm room at the top.
Work is almost done and very happy with the result,.

Close to the “destination” (Großglockner).

Travel to the East and avoid Autobahn = nice ride
