Wasn’t sure if this should go under the bread or cast iron thread, but tried my hand at sourdough English muffins today.
Done in the lodge skillet at a low temp. After rising overnight on the...

I’d love the heated cab on that tractor up here in the winter. But it being a vintage VW, I bet the cabin heat sux.

The cylinders fit through clearance holes in the block and rise above the top o the block about 4-6 thou.
The head gasket and cylinder head press down from the top, like you say, and the bottom step...

Good question Roy, and it should as they were tuned as purchased for a stock triumph 1.8.
I’ll be going through the recalibration procedure as part of the post rebuild tune, but as it sits I’ll get...

That's some nice wire work Tom!

FedEx says my sleeves are en route! Maybe by the weekend I can start the rebuild.
:tu

Global warming I guess. But pretty to look at.
To me, just a typical changing spring snow storm. Cold front rolled in and bam, winter is back. But just for a week I reckon. Back up into the teens...

Yes I’m waiting on the parts bus now. All my gaskets and rebuild stuff has arrived, but still waiting on the pistons and sleeves, as well as the...

The biltong box is packed away once again and all the ‘steaks’ are to target weight so bundled up in ziploc bags, but still whole.
Going to only slice them up one at a time as needed this time....

True dat!.
I was this close to leaving the cylinders alone and just pull the crank for the new rear main, but this is all for the best.
Decided to leave the camshaft as it is the upgraded TR4...

JB Weld almost would, but part of me thinks just leaving it in would have also been fine for who knows how long.
Im thinking this happened when it was last put together possibly as the piece was...

During inspection and clean up I noticed that #1 piston has a crack between rings 1 and 2.

So,, looks like this...

Not in my neck of woods. Unless you are meaning back bacon? But that’s more loin than bacon.
We do call bologna Newfie steak though, if that counts,,

All sliced, and packed up in 20, 12 slice packs of thick cut apple smoked bacon.

Pretty sure 20 packs of bacon would be round 200$ now up here, so this does save some money.
Think the real...

A full belly. That’s just the first half. Gonna finish it all up tomorrow night and get everything into vac bags.
The weight on the belly, rind on was almost 15 lbs.
So figure I net about 13 lbs of...

And we are dry enough to try the smaller strips.

Doubling the marinade step was a good success. Flavour all the way through the meat.
Great spicy kick, and that chew is sublime.

I found once with a bacon batch that fine salt is a no no and for whatever reason made the bacon too salty, despite the weight being accurate to the batch.
Since then I’ve always use coarse, or sea...

No smoke in this cure, only coriander, salt, chili flakes and pepper corns. All crushed.
Biltong could be hung in a breezy room that’s always mid 70’s to cure, but I’m in Canada, with pets so needed...

Out of a few staples so had to clean out the Biltong box for a fresh load.
