Ray moved the Whitcomb up by the station so that it would be closer to the water faucet. Sunday was the day of the LSRHS volunteer cook out and pot luck supper. The Whitcomb was to be filled with water and run. We filled the water Saturday morning but it had a pretty good leak where at a gasket joint. (not the radiators fault). I went to the hardware store and bought a needle that you use to inflate soccer balls. I attached that to a tube of silicone sealer and injected it into the joint. It took 24 hours to cure, so the Whitcomb did not run Sunday night. Monday morning we filled the radiator and it held water. I hooked up the radiator hoses and filled the engine with water. I ran the engine back and forth on the track by the station. The torque converter did not seem to be working just right and the engine was leaking oil but this is another step closer to being complete and running. 50 people attended the volunteer picnic. The temperature was in the 70’s and the food was ahhhhh awesome.
