Holy Smokes, what a great job! Very impressive, thanks for documenting and sharing/

I'm just curious, how the heck do you know what to do?? I'd be lost just getting everything undone!

Bravo!!

I took a few but I am not sure what angle you want. In the last part I posted the best of those....



and another....



What angle are you looking for?

Cheers,

Taking it apart was easy, just use lots of baggies!

I like the mechanical side of things and always had a nack for it. I often thought I should have been a mechanical engineer rather than an electrical/computer engineer. I took Bruce Anderson' s course last December and read the shop manuals, Bruce's book, Wayne Dempsey's book (invaluable for this work), spend countless hours on rennlist and pelican parts (the engine rebuilding forum there is especially good). I think having a nack or confidence is very important...if you tackle something this size without the feeling that you can do it then you are in trouble. Note that I did not say that you are scared but that you have the confidence to get through it.

I started at the beginning like everyone else but I might have a bit of an advantage...my dad had me welding and millwrighting before I was ten. He had a small sawmill and everything had to be maintained and I was cheap help

Another trick is just to do it, small or large...if you over analyze you might never get started...

Cheers,

Mike

Great write up Mike, and an impressive job!!! I like the spark plug vs the expensive Porsche tool!!!
And with your timing done that way you might expect good results when your fire it up!

Cheers
