Re: '66 Deluxe

Bus 1 got some love last month and I'm just now getting time to post it. The voltage regulator failed, and the steering box cover was leaking so I resealed it. I'm using a farm lube in steering gears, it's also called "corn head grease". It's from TSC (not in the oil section, in the tracto...

Re: 2023 - Mohican Campout June 2-4

Detour FYI, most of you know this- the map on their website is wrong, it shows the bridge is open to light traffic but the bridge is closed. It is last year's map showing the bride will be closed fully in September (2022!).

Re: Stuff at the Shop

Yesterday was a big day, we fired it on propane on the engine stand. It sounds great, has good oil pressure and no unusual noises. Ran it 20+ minutes at 2000+ to break in the cam, it was a good day!

Re: Stuff at the Shop

Anyway, we polished the crank and new cam journals, new hydraulic lifters, soda blasted the pistons and ball honed the jugs, new cast rings, took the best parts from 2 or 3 engines, new AMC heads, and put it together. Lee's son Luke also got in on the process.

Re: Stuff at the Shop

Some of you know I'm helping Lee build a T4 engine at the shop for his '80 Vanagon. Here's a Cliff's Notes version of the story: Lee had another guy helping him in Mansfield who unfortunately passed away late last year during the rebuild process, so I was the second string QB for the job. Lee had tr...
