More parts!



Tomorrow I will receive my free heaterboxes from PBJ and my BAS thermostat arrived today. Morten donated his old Kads to me, they will need a tune-up and then I will mount then on my 1914 ccm.

Next step


Modified my pulleywheel and oiltube last week. I also got 5 new flywheelbolts from Farmer and mounted the flywheel, now I just have to adjust the clearence.
This week I will receive my B.A.S. Thermostat and I will mount my pistons and cylinders. Not to mention that I have to fabricate my oiltower for the alternator.

Elnef had the right tube for my engine, so the first chapter is done. Thanks!

Heyy oohhh....

The winter has arrived. Yesterday we had a snowstorm and it is still coming down. It took me 30 minutes to dig our car out of the snowdynes. It's going sideways around the corners.

Oil pickup tube


Went by the garage this evening.

Gave my rods 25 lbs ft. and now I just need the cam bearings, but no!

Apparently my pickup tube is 1-2 cm. too short, so I cant put my shortblok together before I have the proper tube.
Apparently John Elnef has the tube that fits my block. My friend Niklas went by Bugservice and picked up some double thrust cambearings for me. Thanks!
So in the following weekend I will close my shortblock!
Next step is to mount my pistionrings and modify my T1 oilpump.

Morten's Buggy engine


We stripped the engine a while ago.
Now I picked up the engine and started stripping the crank together with Morten.
The crank got new bearings and gaskets and now we're waiting on his lifters to arrive.
The engine has a 276 degree camshaft, ballanced rods and will be a std. 69 x 85.5 with ported heads and a set of Kads.
