    Those that have been paying attention will know we did get Richard's 8BA running in the 50 F1. When he drove it he found problems with the heads. We decided to use some French heads as I had some. They are similar but need some machining to replicate the 8BA heads. A chance for me to get some time in on the milling machine. Follow along to see how it went..



    Also: I put a video up on Tuesday but didn't include a link, so here it is:

    Yeah. The extension is ok, it's the lead on the drill that is fubared.
