Can they replace the valve cover gaskets with the engines in the frame?  ;D

I'm not sure Wilbur but if I had to guess, I would say yes for the front 2 engines, not sure on the back one.

Hi Sam, last couple of years have been interesting. Managed to drop dead of a cardiac arrest, then spent 4 months in hospital. The fitness is back, the brain is taking longer, plan on fishing and bike riding shortly,. Beer still tastes good.

Hi guys, it's been a while since I last posted but I can only post when things move on and in the last few days, things have really moved on.
When I last heard, there was just the plumbing to do on the AT&SF and now that plumbing is done.
Sadly, I'm not sure if I can post the pictures that I have seen, because when I try to save them to my computer, I'm not sure HOW they have been saved.
The pictures can be seen on the RC Legacy Motorsports page if you are on Facebook, but here goes, let's see if I can post them. Fingers crossed.
Sorry guys, I just can't get my head around it. Sadly, this forum does not allow me to just copy and paste pictures.
If any members are on Facebook and are able to help, please be my guest.

Wow this is a beautiful job. Plenty of mental gymnastics involved in the routing and fabrication of braided lines and their appropriate fittings. It's easy to end up with a box full of "missed it by that much" too-short lines and fittings that didn't quite match the angle you needed.  :o

Don, I mentioned that to Jr. when I saw the top pic. It definitely is poster material. He sent it to me on my phone, but I lose a lot when it prints. I'll ask him tomorrow about making a run . It'd be a keeper for sure. So much going on to look at and and so colorful !

 Is there a routine to turn the engines backwards to clear out the nitro or do you shut them off on alcohol to get the nitro out of the cylinders?

Don like you know it's always best to shut the fuel pump (nitro) off and then keep the motor running with a few squirts of gasoline while the residual nitro is sucked out of the lines by the manifold vacuum. That's certainly going to be a challenge on the Sorcerer due to blower orientation, but Robert has added an additional feed line between the injector and the blower similar to what I have on the funnycar, a small feed line from an alcohol jug for the warmup. The A,T,&SF I'd maybe think 3 guys with Sure-Shots?  ::)
