Shawn and I worked on engines for 12 hours on Saturday. Broke down the busted block then assembled new one. Put heads on all the tins George checked end play I broke some stuff. Shawn fixed some stuff. All was good. Jack came over today test fired it. Sounded good. Idle not so much. Came home put it in the car. Test drove it needs fine tuning but it runs and it's back in the car! Also Shawn drove the white vanagon around the block. We bled the brakes twice runs nice

That's good news! Although it would be puzzling why the FAPWagen would have a problem ejecting fluid from a hose, let alone twice

All kidding aside. We got the brakes to a point where they stop nicely. The last step is to figure why the signals coming from the engine are getting scrambled up at the cluster... The high pressure oil warning comes on at 2500 rpm even thought the sender is sending a signal that says the oil pressure is fine.

The coolant level indicator is blinking even though the sender is new and the level is fine. These are probably a ground or a bad connection... We shall see

Have to source a new radiator fan. The current unit works but "she don't sound so good Lucy "

Other than that, we're golden

Talked my girls into Family VW Night once a week.  Steph has a goofy work schedule so the night won't be constant...So this Wednesday is the first. We're working on all three busses. As always, if you're bored and want to come play feel free. Nothing better than working on VWs with family and friends. We'll be grinding, and treating rust, welding, electrical and the cool electronics I love putting in my vehicles so it's going to be a real learning experience.

All of them... The girls cant weld so they'll start on the rust on Jessie's Westy while I tackle the "roller coaster" on the back of Stephs Champagne. Lovebus needs a left front adjuster, if I can get to it

My coolant light always comes on and I ignore it because the needle works good and engine never seems hot.  4thinking6
