one week of driving around......
Last week i finally got a 5 day registration and the truck ready for the street!
Monday i went to the glassservice to have the windshieldtrim installed and the to a freinds shop for dialing in the ignition and carb.What we dialed in with our ears end eyes wasnīt too far away from good and after blowing a valvecovergasket and replacing it with a rubbergasket me and my buddy drove to the automobileclub dyno! After some carefull pulling to get the dyno moving the man hit the pedal and showed us how good my truck sounds! He squeezed out 243.6 horsepowers and the highspeed settled at 218 kph wich is about 136 miles per hour! That are teriffic dates,arenīt they? The driving feels very good and smooth and the tranny works great too! Unfortunately it looses a little oil wich i think is coming from the rear crankshaftseal and the front driverside nitrodropshock looses oil too! Other than that every function is ok except that starting takes long when the motor is warm.Starts right up when cold.Maybe the carb is to big or just doesnīt work right? I couldnīt get the inspection to get the registration but at least i could test everything and enjoy about 260 miles with about 25 gallons of fuel! 10.4 mpg hopefully is not what i get all the time so thereīs some thinking and adjusting to do!
