Cotton is the MAN

[charlie]

Wanted to share my pictures of the project that has seen too many shops, and never got what I wanted until I met Jack Cotton. He agreed to bring our project (half completed) home - well to a point where we'll take it back over.

Jack Cotton has finally posted pictures of our car and I wanted to share the link.

Hope the link loads....

Its been since 1998 when we first bought the Stage II block and heads. Long road, $$$ and look now --- brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks for looking

That was YOUR car?...W-0-W!...I saw it last February at Jack's barbecue and now this week ...I even heard it running!...It's going to be one heck of a ride once everything finished! Congrats on a great looking car! :wink:

Claude.

P.S: Yes Jack is "THE MAN" !...

 

[GNBRETT]

Looks impressive.

 

[Eticket]

Good looking build.

Question though: Does your hood close with that straight up radiator cap that you have? I have a similar radiator and was wondering if it was going to work.

 

[charlie]

Don't know about the hood. Sent it to Jack without one. Going to pick it up next week or so.

Dude wow very clean and sweet! Jack does nice work!

Question: why is it nessary to re-locate the breathers?

Question: why is it nessary to re-locate the breathers?

Wow no one can answer this?

 

[toofastforyou]

Wow no one can answer this?

I'm pretty sure it's to prevent oil from seeping out of them because there quite a good amount of oil splashing under the valve covers that would eventually find it's way out...

Jack...am I right?...

Claude. :wink:

 

[Eticket]

I've seen them relocated to keep oil that sometimes comes out of them off of the engine/headers/etc.

I'm not sure about this setup? maybe it's a custom catch can where we can't see the additional hoses?

 

[vacuum 6]

Cool it's to catch oil coming out. Why would oil come out? I've seen this type of setup on most if not all "fast" forced induction cars.

 

[toofastforyou]

Cool it's to catch oil coming out. Why would oil come out?

Like I said in my previous post, it's just because some oil splashes around inside the valve covers and every now and then a drop manages to find it's way inside the breathers which becomes soaked after a while and eventually, that oil seeps out of the breather...:wink: It doesn't mean there's something wrong with the engine...:redface:
I can't explain better than this...

Claude. :wink:

 

[vacuum 6]

It helps catch oil from blow-by at high RPMs.

it's called crank case pressure. that is why you also see so many vacuum pumps, to remove or relieve the crank case pressure.
