Bud's 76' terra

[IHRunner]

Alright mates. Loadstar is on total hold right now. Clutch. Engine. Body. Just cant pull it off for rmihr 20.

Soooooo throw the terra back together. Get her running right. Take left front fender back off and fix it correctly because the p.o. Hit a deer and apparently is fond of bondo.

Im gonna go ahead and grab the canned ham and roll on up the old school way.

Hard to believe but im back to work on my baby. I dont know for how long now, but for quite a while it seems ive had a broken head bolt. Of course IH v8 even when broken seem to run pretty well. View attachment 25439

A pulled the offending bolt a few months ago. Then promptly lost my job. Of course. Suprisingly now im back to work for "name brand parts store" and get wonderful discounts on my beloved IH parts. Finally heads are going back on. New gaskets. Plugs. Wires. Cap. Rotor. All the goodies for half the price. Ive caused mass panic around here. People thought I moved because I havent had my terra causing chaos up and down main street.

Pictures of my new goodiez to follow

New head gaskets....again. I hate these new fel-pro thick monsters.

When I do rocker assemblies and in general anything under 55ft/lbs I break out my baby. A 1950's torqometer from snap-on. Still under warranty according to them. It goes up to 600 inch lbs. Simple dial type that I trust better than my click types in that situation

Intake man-e-foil. Valve covers. Cap and rotor. Thermostat. Exhaust man-e-foil "vintage maybeeneze" belts. Egr delete. All the goodies back on. New gates hoses on order. And a 2300 rebuild kit on the way.
