Update

Heads are in good hands in order to get material added to dimpled surfaces.

Planning is underrated..

Allright I got some danged up surfaces in my front head, no cracks so..
Decided to remove both heads and strip completely, seats and all.
I have some added material between the seats most likely welded in way back chipped just slightly. If everything turns out right with vacations I might have both heads in the powder welding next week already, so I´m busy stripping. And, yes..the entire engine will be stripped and checked, the head work will be restoration not just repair.

Challenged

Klonk!

Blacksmith Nat´s was fun as always,. more altereds, Norwegian Classic dragbikes, Nitro Ironhead Sporters, double engine nitro Java etc etc, I believe i did six passes and I was chasing some lost topspeed, found it and started to manage my launches, and on the final pass Saturday, hitting third gear I lost thrust and it sounded like I would imagine a rod coming out of the Engine Block, came to a halt, engine still running turned it of . no hole, no pool of oil....In the pit after being towed I started to turn the engine with the kick start slowly and it turned to a stop, so started to remove the front cylinder plug and it did not feel right, so, something is doing something it´s not supposed to in my front cylinder. back home and unloaded , I will take a closer look tommorrow.

Good times

The European and NDRS Championship racing was sweet, Tierp Arena is beyond expectation and coming in to the campground and greeted by one of the Builder/Owners, is stuff that makes myths, boots on the ground.
Fantastic racing and I take Mr. Ashleys (SuperTwin Top Fuel) and Tommy Johnsson J.r.`s (Top Fuel) with me, very professional indeed, good show. I´m participating in Blacksmith Nat´s this weekend,  pre-73 stuff and more on Kjula Dragway.

Time to see some real Dragracing

Finishing up at work, truck is loaded with necessary beverages..., and we are going to Terp arena to watch, smell and hear high class European Championship Drag Racing. 13 Top Fuelers and well over 30 Pro Mods, Pro Stock etc in the new arena, I´m really looking forward to it.

Inspirational
