Money good, tax horrendous, body sore. New master and sleeved slave on clutch. Fork was fitted incorrectly and came off pivot ball. Gearbox out fork fitted correctly. New a/c compressor clutch was siesed. Now the clutch pedal has a weird click at different positions on pedal height. Assuming it's where the master cylinder shaft sits in the top of the clutch pedal.f##k

Sounds cool making custom bits for big boy toys

That’s why they pay you the big bucks

Sounds cool and is fun working on big motors sifting though loads of drawings sorting and ordering flanges parts and bits. till you realise your a old man that also has to build it all. Cummins qsk95. Kta50's etc. Lithium and associated mining for batteries taking off. All jobs are for contract power management. Turning massive alternators for power generation. My Brother in law works for C.P.M. So always interesting mining and engine conversations. All the exhaust systems are like big meccano kits with slip joints on flanged bellows and lobsterbacks so they can be adjusted and welded on site out to the mufflers with stacks etc. I love the solid geometry and mathematics involved, parallel line, radial line and triangulation. but am getting too old to continuously pump out the big welding jobs.

so, who does your drawings and does he need help?

Nope it's my office. No one smarter or better than me allowed in ever. I guard that office and computer like a ravenous pit bull terrier. Any chance to get off the floor and I'm in there. :-) air conditioner soaking up even a very mild sweat.

15hrs pretending to be a German might not be germain to the situation. Just try to avoid their porn. Sebastian vettel calenders everywhere :-o

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
