It's double the thickness.. But, there's not a lot of meat there.

Man I'm in so deep....
A decent 3.4 rebuild, with all the fun mods to go with it (not just the P/C's) will cost me an arm and a leg.... :(:(
AAAAAarrrgh, decisions decisions.... A simple 3.4 or a HOT 3.2....
Seems like the only/best way to stay within budget is ditching the 3.4 and re-use my old P/C'S.....
I NEED a 3.4... why do I suck at working within budget??? Why do I decide what I want and THEN look at the cost of it???



sorry bout the bird Dave. that must suck even more. :(
I spent 10K in parts and machine work and reused my P&Cs http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1264156406.jpg

Sorry about your bird Dave.

I know it's not a lot, but I think it's enough. It's not like the entire engine weight is hanging on those two little pieces where there is 'little meat'.
I'm planning on using it. For disassembling anyway, most of the weight is already of the engine, only pistons, cilinders and heads.
Maybe I should learn how to weld and do it myself next time..

Geronimo '74 01-22-2010 02:44 AM
Robert,

Looks great!
I am looking at 10k as well, in European dollars.....
Which is way more than what I want to spend.
I'm afraid I'll have to do some cutbacks here and there.... It sorta depens on what the grand total will be. I'll know tomorrow.

PS: how do you get that thing off the stand again???

that's why it was supposed to be a thick plate, that extends a bit over the edge...that would provide more meat for the bolt hole

Dave, when a told Bubba he looked sad and depressed.

Mind you, he kinda looks miserable most of the time(when he's not killing)...

I bet he was a little more miserable than usual.. That animal force thing. Another one was silenced...

G! I was trying to imagine how the loads would be in various positions. I think you'll be fine.

waiting for the DB guys to get the SQL backed up so i can run my patches and DB schema upgrades...
They are late.


now some other dude barges in the conference call, to discuss a completely different issue... he did so cause the line was busy , because my contact was in the conf call..:rolleyes:

Dave, sorry about the bird. He had a loving master for many years.

svandamme 01-22-2010 11:47 AM

Got me a bottle of Martini, and i'm going to give it a run for it's money.

Geronimo '74 01-22-2010 03:01 PM

My engine will be apart completely tomorrow.
Had a look in cil no 3, and it looks good, honing pattern is still clearly visible. Piston was all black, charred, like my exhaust valves...

porsche4life 01-22-2010 09:32 PM
Slow night ehh?

cost saving wise, you could opt to simply rebuild as is , with new bearings, head studs, piston rings and a minor head job... you could probably get it back in one piece for under 5 grand

slodave 01-23-2010 12:38 AM
What was wrong with the engine?

svandamme 01-23-2010 12:41 AM
headstuds, the rest is while he's in there and a lust for more power and fancy additions
