I ‘member Ben making these out of generator housing a few years ago.

That was a long night! That generator case was harrrddd. Good memory though. Glad to see they’re still in use. 🙂

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

Thank you so very much. This is going to be an epic road trip. Hope I don’t load the bus down too much.

Ha, I was thinking about your bus being loaded down. Thinking about the clutch namely. Maybe we should put a new stage 1 pressure plate on just to be sure?

Engine is almost ready to go in the bus. Later today.

Empi sump with filter element.

I want Dan to have a problem free trip. Driving to AZ then northern California from Colorado towing a turbo sand rail.

Rear axle service today. It had a leaking axle seal, broken motor mounts, leaking input shaft seal, and cracked axle boots.

Moving on to the front axle. I think the wheel bearings are OK. Maybe I should pull the drums to look at them? I’m going to grease the link pins and torsion arms tonight, then repair the throttle pivot (it has a wollowed out hole).

Engine ready to install, fully plumbed, cleaned the carbs, and set float heights.

Stage 1 1700lbs pressure plate, new disc, and main seal.

Double barrel draft tube is vented to the 1/2 valve cover. No breather box needed.

Looks great Franz. I know when I leave the shop that my bus has been dialed in by the best. It’s going to be a long drive. Nice to start out with confidence.  Fresh motor and a fresh clutch, can’t get any better. This bus seems to get worn down a bit. Must get used some.
