 Anyone out there care to watch me take apart (and hopefully put back together) a 3.0? I can't start at the beginning because I picked it up from a shop in this condition. Well actually it was alot uglier. Years of oil leaks had baked on to nearly every inch. |

I remember when Wayne was researching the book. That was a significant point of confusion and contention; there were a number of sources saying that they could be, and a number saying that they absolutely could not. I think Wayne decided to err on the side of caution.

QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Oct 20 2011, 10:48 AM)  I remember when Wayne was researching the book. That was a significant point of confusion and contention; there were a number of sources saying that they could be, and a number saying that they absolutely could not. I think Wayne decided to err on the side of caution. --DD Him erring on the side of caution is a load of pure shit. There is a HUGE thread on Pelican about reusing Alusil where we recruited a graduate metallurgist and his scanning electron microscope to study the effects of reconditioning, we recruited the guy who wrote the book for Sunnen on how to do the reconditioning with AD30 paste and stiff felt pads on the machine, we donated cylinders and had them worked with green pads and the recommended AD30 paste and then put them in the SEM. Initially, Wayne posted in the forum that he would err on the side of new parts (caution). However, once we proved that you can easily and reliably recondition Alusil, WAY easier than Nikasil, Wayne posted that he knew all about that and that is why he chose to do that very procedure on the car engine used in the book (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) That engine ended up in the 82SC bought by my friend James Tomlinson so I sent him a link to the thread where he confronted Wayne, peacefully and jokingly about it. No need to pay $3k for the P/C. Recondition of mine was $192. How Wayne posted on that topic is one of the 3 reasons I do not care for him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
