Blasted the fronts, etched, sealed and blakced out. I hit the backsides lightly and just gave them a coat of black.

Soooooo, I am finally home from picking up the bus and dropping it off. I left at 0830 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) If there was a wrong turn to be made or a traffic jam to find, I was there! How do I end this adventure? Well, cop a squat and I will tell you.

I get to Zach's house, he is not home and his wife is busy with the spawn. Soo, I have to unload the bus my self.....on his VERY sloped driveway. Oh ya, Scotty disarmed the breaks. I cant forget to tell ya'll that point. Anyway, I am at a 45* to Zach's garage with the bus, my VUE is in his grass, I have the wheels chocked, and I pull forward with the the VUE thus pulling the bus off of the trailer.....and it rolls over the chocks and slowly heads for Zach's garage door. I manage to throw the VUE in park, and run to the bus and slow its roll.......into Zach's garage door (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Mostly it looks like the door paint transferred to the bus' corner. It will likely buff out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Zach's door was only bent a little, I pushed it back out and got out of there before the wife came out and wondered what happened (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It still went up and down fine, and it wasnt perfect to begin with, but I will be back to beat it back to a better looking form (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

What a friggen day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

When I gave you permission to put the bus into my garage, I intended for you to open the door first. Dork. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'll have to to a little more massaging to it this weekend. It opens fine but binds when closing. Right now I have it off the motor, as it was jamming at the top. No biggie.

Does the bus have any brakes at all? I'd like to swing it around so it is more even with the top of the drive. It will keep Erin happy if it is more orderly.

No brakes. The pads separated from the metal and locked the wheels so Scotty had to remove them. I will be replacing all of the brakes on it soon. I can come over when ever you want to move the bus around and fix your door. I only have plans tonight, other than that I am available. I also forgot to drop off my new windshield that is still in my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The parts are supposedly done at the shop, which just happens to be on the way to Zach's house, so I will stop by and drop off the windshield, and massage the door into a more functional arrangement (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) So much shame (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad2.gif)

The door is "fixed" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Good news on the bus, I pulled the tank to see about getting it coated and the inside looks brand new and the fule level sender is brand new (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Score!

All of the engine parts are done now... I think I will be in the garage late tonight putting things on other things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

With the heads back from the shop and turned down to my calculated seat height, it was time to finish the heads; smooth the seating edges, CC and adjust as necessary.

You can see the sharp edges left by the machining. These edges are a great place for heat to build up and cause preignition.

Here are the smoothed edges.

Here are the pics of me CCing the chambers. All was good as they were within 1cc or less, between 47-48cc for a CR of 7.5-7.6:1 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I got one of the heads on and things are progressing along nicely. This engine is pretty darn easy to assemble.

I looked at that too Scott. The cracks are in the plexiglass disc he was using to cc the heads.

O.K. I see them in most pics but the one in that very first pic sure looks like it is in the head. Is my eyesight that off ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

No. It took me several looks before I realized what it was.

Zach gets the prize (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The pics are sometimes staged as I tend to get focused in my work and miss photo ops. In the pics you can see a piece of debris in the chamber that I removed after the pic as well. I'll try to get a pic posted of 1/2 of the engine done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have to read a whole book for tomorrows class....I started it at noon (doh).
