Tonight's update, finished clearancing and balancing the big end of the rods. I needed to remove a little more material from the rod end caps to get my min .060" clearance from the opposing stuff. Then, I balanced the large ends to within 1g which is the limit of my gear. They were off a max of 6g so I am happier with where they are now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Next before assembly, I am waiting for my friend to snag me some pipettes from her lab so I can CC the heads. Once CCed, I will have the barrels turned to the correct depth for the CR that I calculate. I cant wait, it will be assembly time after this step! I will be cleaning the case really well, again, before the assembly.

If you can't find pipets, I'll bet you can snag some syringes which seem to work fairly well.

I got a plastic burette off eBay from some place in Houston for less than $20. Much easier than using pipettes. Of course, free is a good price...

Ha, I have 10ml and 60ml syringes and totally forgot about them. The pipettes are actually easy to use, but the syringes will work. Duh... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

CVS sells syringes for dosing babies...they cost like 3-4 bucks.
100cc in one cc marks.

Use tranny fluid...it bubbles less and its easy to see.

Every time I have needed machine work 3 things have happened: 1) Things took waayyy longer than they were supposed to. 2) I made friends with the machinests. 3) I got a smoking deal onteh work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I just got back from the machine shop and they only charged me $1200 for all ofthe work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) He said it was morelike $1800, but he felt bad about the time. The places that do this conversion normally charge in the area of $2500 and that doesnt include the large amount of head work I had them do. It pays to be nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Now you can add paying for a lot of head work to the list...

Good news! I was working out the parameters to see what I needed to adjust for the CR and after I added in .040" copper head gaskets, I need nothing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The deck height was remarkably right on. $40 for the gaskets and they are on their way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This weekend should prove to be productive.

Spent an hour out there tonight balancing the pistons. Enough is enough, time to clean the case for the last time and start putting the parts in.

Looks sweet! Where did you find the windshield? Did you find one that was completely clear or does it have the tint across the top?

Glass shop we use occassionaly is getting it for me. I don't know if it is tinted or not. I honestly didn't even think about that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Cost? Might want to ask about the tint, I've heard complaints about it from taller bus drivers, apparently the tint comes down far enough that they are looking through it all the time when driving.

But I've also heard that it is tough to get anything else new.

Rich



Roof will be done at a later date. For now it ( the bus ) will go back to the house until Mike is ready to put the engine in. That way he can drive it with the fixed roof so I can get the 914 done, make some $$$ and prepare myself for the roof " project " It really won't be that bad I just need to get some other things out of the way first, and he can enjoy the bus sooner.
