Fortunately there is plenty to do while the Brutes are garaged, and many events to anticipate in 2014.
If you didn't get to as many car related activities this year as you would like,
take a look at the Events section and plan now to attend.
This newsletter is for you. Let us know what you'd like to see.

Restoration and Dyno Test 300K Engine

An old "tried and true" procedure handed down from mechanics of old....
Before installing a thermostat, insert an "Aspirin" tablet or equivalent in
the thermostat to hold the it open while filling the cooling system.
This allows the trapped air to escape.
Once filled, and you start the engine, the tablet slowly dissolves allowing the thermostat to operate normally.
I found this trick especially useful on the 55-58 era style engines which have that horizontal bridge pipe between
the cylinder heads...easy to trap air there.
