Work continues to re-assemble the Buda engine on our Plymouth BL. This work day saw the final touches put on the valves and the final pieces installed so the oil pan could be reattached which was accomplished by the end of the day. The next hurdle will be the construction of a new intake & exhaust manifold. The many years of exposure was not kind to the original. With that, a few other small parts, a temporary radiator and some warmer temperatures, it is hoped the engine can be started soon.
The Buda sits waiting the days re-assembly to start.
Work continues. New lifting rings have been installed in the engine’s head and the museum volunteers work on installing the oil pan.
