Power to the people -The Bus Engine is almost ready

After the fast cruise with silver "that sun" we headed to the garage to see my project engine.
theres nothing really special in it, but some parts that i have managed to collect, a new stroker block from Paruzzi.fi, a new FK8 cam, a old 84 Scat, + old school porsche H-profile rods, aa-perf 94 p/c kit,    11,5 C/R, E85 sipping... old race super flows from a 11 sec race bug, manifolds from Aircooled.fi ...and from the Lauffers / vwparadise i got these 48 mm butterflies with the air cleaners etc...

now i need a good flowing exhaust, plus some minor parts... but looks like there will be a potent Bus-motor to really get the panel van moving. and because of the fact that these are not the all out parts that i would have, i would guess that this might be the engine that could be driven, even in the traffic jams. hope so. got to get jimi from the school someday. :-)

a great vw-scene day!

i went to get the panel van inspected today, but i didn't go as planned, and the reason was that the mechanic ( me, myself & i) made a mistake, ....first i had two spacers in the rear brake in wrong places, so i had to fix those at Kottens garage, ok it didn't take that long at all, but the reason for NOT to get the van inspeccted properly was that i never actually adjusted the parking brakes at all, so pulling the lever didn't make much of braking. that was one thing.... the second thing was that the rear wheel was oily, so the inspector thought it will slip oil, even the rear brakes were working like they should. ok i only have to clean the wheels inside and adjust the parking brakes... that will do the trick.

after this i went to see Tomi at sepankatu garage, and bring out some parts for my stroker...
there was a problem with the berg rockers, super flows and big springs....they make the pushrods to touch the puush rod tubes, so the idea was to take the heads off and weld and remake  things .... ;-) but then the better idea was to try again the Pauter rockers, and after so tweaks, we have now pauter rockers working with my parts... wow. one side is pretty much looking great.

I got some spare adjusters from Jyrki Laune to the pauter rockers, (a very big THANKS to jyrki to help in this) and after this we got the oil sump in order too, except, theres one stud missing, but ill figure out something for that...

i got new intake manifolds from AIRCOOLED.FI, (thanks for mikko) and they will have 48mm butterfly´s in no time. and maybe some other parts like fan etc... ;-)

i also got the opportunity to see Make´s turbo bugs engine... and check out some things that i could copy to my black ghia´s engine...anyways even i didn't have the bus inspected ... it was a helluva day.
got to get the panel inspected and the stroker...well you will guess where. :-)
