That dizzy gear looks great! Drop it back in and drive it another
500 miles. Shoot, it looks good enough for another 1,000. Be sure
to inspect it again after this years race.<br>
<br>
Good luck with the move.<br>

you will see a couple photos of the bronze gear
Art, Bill and I inspected today on my engine. Art
did the lions share of teaching and wrenching and
Bill and I shared the lions share of eating and
drinking and second quessing Art! ;-) </div>

<div id="yiv446493198yui_3_2_0_15_131102998500948">So
the gear was pulled, inspected, photographed and
then reinstalled...see photos</div>

<div id="yiv446493198yui_3_2_0_15_131102998500948">The
wear of the teeth was even and minimal...no sharp
edges....no damage although the photos have some
'shadows' and flash 'glare; from oil on gear teeth
but on close inspection of third photo I think we
collectively agreed it was probably good to go for
another +/- 500 miles ......maybe changing it out
after Silver State....but please share your
opinion on or off line after you view the photos.
I have no additional long road trips
planned....and the engine again pulled hard and
made all the right sounds.</div>

last thing to finish out the punch list of actions
was pulling the 160 thermostat and replacing it
with a SPECIAL Robert Shaw 180 modified in Saudi
(last photo) and adjusting shift linkage. That
went equally smooth and compliments to Dick (from
Art and Bill) on how much easier the thermosat was
to get out and in.....with Dick Drenske's modified
cooling system.....you will see a link and photos
to the Robert Shaw thermostat that AJ shared with
us last week in earlier email from AJ. With
everything else done with the fuel injection
Saturday and another road test today I should be
good to go at SS in Sept.</div>

the same time I was trying to wrap up the Pantera
I was also getting ready to pack and move back up
north, spending allot of time on the phone on biz
for this new project back in Bay Area and with the
planned trip of departure on Thursday or Friday I
sure appreciated Art and Bills can-do attitude to
help me get it all done.....again, thanks guys. </div>
