Chris has motivated me into finally pulling the cylinder head to see what's going on with the Talon. So This Saturday we will see what we have in there to work with and determin a solution to get it on the road.
It's been a while since I've put a wrench to her. Kinda looking forward to it. Especially with some good helpful company. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Well Chris and I pulled the cylinder head off in short order. I was correct that there was some confilct between the number one cylinder and the valves. Unfortunately it wasn't for a reason I had anticipated. There is some slop in the number one piston stroke causing contact with the cylinder head. So there is trouble in the bottom end as well. Probably a bad rod bearing. That's too bad since it is a Buscher Stage three bottom end with less than 5000 miles on it.

He did Patterson's crank for his wife's car and it came out well. Worth a shot at least. Hopefully will be able to get away with just a rod and some bearings worst case. Or might get lucky and just have a piston bad (pin hole whopped out, etc) -------------------- 1978 Mustang II King Cobra
