Looks great! So......when is Kostya gonna do the oval for ya?

BTW: nice yard...must be a PITA with the drought..


Thanks Dylan!

:nono: I know I said it would never happen with the 66 but it will never happen with the oval :lol: .

As far as the yard goes, my neighbors all say I have the best grass in the "hood". My water bill for June was over a 100 bucks and I have not seen July's yet. It should be quite a bit cheaper as we started water rashioning early in the month. I did get some brown spots while I was on vacation though. I will be lucky to get it back the way I like it until the weather cools or we get lots of rain.

Have to figure out why there is no oil pressure. The case was assembled when I bought the motor and we committed the big sin...trusting somebody else's work. If I were to guess, the 1835 will require new bearings and a possible line bore.
