Thanks!

And as promised, video from the demo run with the 4-rotors at Sevenstock 19. Enjoy!

Great vid! Lov the soundtrack. Looks like Mike on the right in the beginning. Tommy Lo driving?

Thanks for posting

 

Thanks Kurt! TANK! is one of my favorites...rediscovered it looking for an appropriate track for this.

Yes, that was Mike in the green shirt on the right. Tommy was driving. He was really chomping at the bit to get going.

He went a lot faster during the second emo run, but unfortunately his fun was cut short after the second lap.

This, and a hot cup of coffee, is an awesome way to start a day of work in the garage - such great inspiration! Thanks for sharing.

 

This evening I pulled the engine using a Harbor Freight engine hoist I picked up. I don't normally go for cheap tools, but I hope pulling engines isn't something I'm going to do a whole lot of, and this got the job done.

It's good to know you have some great people behind you on this. Tommy Lo, Mike Stocklin, etc. This car is beautiful and you're not cutting corners. :P

 

Ow yeah bolt/apexseal/rotor/housing :bleh

 

Oi a movie

 

What's the Brazil 66 reference? I'm curious

 

Part deux

Why am I faster posting your video's than you?

 

LOL! I was going to post them...just lost track of things.

It's further along than the vids indicate, but only slightly. I'm in the middle of moving things around in the garage to make more room to work.

Engine apart.

New housing and rotor?

 

New rotor. I'm going to keep the housing as it made good compression on one face despite the 3 score marks on it. I'll compression check it after it's assembled and if it makes good compression still, I'll go with it. If not, then we'll pull it apart and I'll save up for a new set of housings. Would really rather not go that route.

Maybe a close up of the housing? A 13B housing is not that hard to find.

 

13B housings are not hard to find. 13B peripheral port housings are hard to find. And expensive. :/

fm

 

of all the places to have a score mark that is one of the least worst, the leading plug hole is larger because there is not much pressure difference between the two chambers.

 

Are you using MFR housings? Is it super expensive to get a used housing machined for pport? I'm not a builder, but that scoring looks impressive.

 

Not MFR housings, but they are similar. j9fd3s got the engine back together using these housings last week. Guess what? It makes better compression than before!

 

Und eine extra jah

 

I'm amazed you didn't post that "loaded up for SevenStock" photo that I just saw on Facebook. WOW. What a great shot!

 

That is a great show, isn't it? Even a cameo appearance of j9fd3s and Mr. Peepers in it. I'm in there, but hidden by B66, changing wheels. So I didn't have that shot personally...my buddy took it and I just found out about it.

 

Any updates on the PP??

Great build thread btw

 

Thanks!

Wait for it... it's coming very soon!

Engine tear down part one.
