progress?....well, its in the barn instead of the driveway...that is a start, right?...I reallyhaven't been doing much with it lately..i've rebuilt the carb, generator, water pump, electrical switch, distributor, seat assembly, brakes, and replaced every wire on it...it runs good,but it smokes and oil fouls plugs...carries good oil pressure, so hopefully i can just go over the top end and stop the OPEC support system from bankrupting me. I did a compression test...got 55 lbs per cyl +- 3 lbs..added oil to the rings and didn't get much difference... never did learn what it SHOULD be, but i'm sure 55 is low....hopefully it'll just be valves and guides, but I'll re ring it when i crack it open, if that's all it needs...I'll have to mic the bore to see what I really have when I get there.. That water pump was a NIGHTMARE. what a morphidite set up that is! Yeah, I broke the adjusting ring...had to find another pump to replace it, got it home and found that IT was broken too...so back to the parts yard for a third...it was good. Geez..there is a lot to be said for thermosiphon systems.....by the way, give me a call on my cell when you get a chance..I have some info for you re what is going on in D11 that you might find interesting..you may even know some of the players... call post for the 88 if you don't have it.
