This last Hemi I bought I was driving home after buying it and the motor seized. It starved for oil because it sat for so long the oil was sludge. Two bearings spun and I thought the crank was toast. The aluminum stuck to the crank from the bearings and I used muriatic acid on the crank and did a home polish and it worked out good. I'm not a engine builder just a guy trying to get my truck running again.
Sorry for the bad luck Al, but now you're going to be able to still enjoy NoName and come home to have the time to rebuild and do everything right the way you want to and Kill at next year's event. Have greatly enjoyed the journey with you!!
Al, you did everything you could! I commend you for hanging in there and going for the hail mary, I have a feeling that engine may have been band aid fixed to sell on marketplace in the first place.
Al, hear me out: you’re not a no-name, and you’re not just national, You’re a Somebody who is International … and for all of us who know, this is sometimes how it goes, AND we’re all happy you’re ok and Will have the Lark how You want it. We’re behind you all the way!
Sorry Al but we all know 💩happens! I thought I was going to be there again but last minute I’m in the Philippines 🤷♂️. So had to cancel Moparty and NN 😟 Tell the Daddy’s Money guys I said hi 👋
Everyone who knows you, wants to see you, with or without the Lark. Next time, they'll see it finished in all it's glory! Have a great trip!👍
Now the pressure is off. Take your time and do it right ! You gave it your best !
Sorry for your luck Al . Have fun with the trip and relax.
Very sorry to hear that. Safe travels to and from the event.
A valiant effort.
We all collectively feel your pain, Al. It's all part of this very expensive hobby we all love so much. Relish the wins, learn from the losses.
That sucks Al you guys tried your best and that’s all that matters

At least we get to see the Lark in the videos Al. Go relax and have fun. Come back with a fresh perspective. Good luck.
That’s a bummer.
There's next year! Ya'll have a safe trip and a great time anyway!👍
Thanks😎👍
Al its your hobby, I enjoy watching. Hobbys have flexible deadlines. Has to be juggled between work and other commitments. You`ll get there.
That's ok Al, you gave it a try. Maybe it'll be ready for a spring meet next year?😎👍
😎👍🇺🇸🏁 Good luck and safe trip.
Al, you did everything you could! I commend you for hanging in there and going for the hail mary, I have a feeling that engine may have been band aid fixed to sell on marketplace in the first place.
At least we still have our family Reunion!
Glad you are still at it. I re subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
See you there!
A video with a happy ending its more important to be there then not and miss out on a good time.
See you there Al!
😎👍
Get the lark put together for next year and take it next July to Syracuse Nationals. It's the biggest car show in the east
Well , better to have everything 100% right than hurt something else. Tomarrows another day.
That's some bad luck buddy. Oh well now you get to tear it down and make sure it's right.
Sorry about the outcome of the skylark engine.

Thanks brother 😎👍
No one can say you didn't try. Be great to see you at NNN with or without the Lark.
Well, don't feel bad, we know you lost some time from medical concerns and all, Al. :)
Thanks
Now you can finish it in peace
