Good morning. The discussion/help that you're offering on a potential 1.7 L refresh has me wondering about doing that as a second tech day for the SoCal mafia.
Different sort of thing in all likelihood then what the good Doctor helped us with, but my guess is that there are a bunch of us that have engines hanging around that could either benefit from this or could be put back into use. Would this be useful for a good number of our members here? If we had a good set of prerequisites do you think we could knock this out in a day? I'm thinking that if we got well organized maybe we could do a group buy sort of thing with one machine shop to do the work. What do you think? |

Hey guys-hope everybody had a good week.
I had a chance to catch up with Ethan tonight and Ethan. Bruce have been putting their heads together on this and came up with a suggestion on how to do this which is far more reasonable than what I sketched out. And by reasonable I mean not a train wreck. Basically what we're going to do is pick one engine to tear down on Saturday, that way Easton can take the time to show us how to measure everything and determine whether or not there's additional work needed. Sunday will be rebuilding one engine that's already been checked out so everybody can see how to do it properly. We're working on trying to get this videoed so there will be a reference guides available on how to do it. Due to scheduling issues and existing commitments it looks like this is going to be September now. |
