winter warrior "elenor"

[bonvo]

got the subaru all back together it seems to run better and the motor is a lot tighter then before but according to the compression tester the results havnt changed beginning to suspect dads prehistoric compression tester but its still hard not to feel defeated after going threw all that and seeing those numbers

[Tristin]

Have you done a wet compression test?

7:04  the  Bonvo happy dance...i rewound that a few times for my wife this morning. :lol:

 

If you put new rings in maybe it is time to get a better tester..   i did watch the whole video this morning,, didn`t even skip around , kinda rare for short attention span me... So what did the not putting the part on in  ( towards the end ) make you do ??

 

 

I also wanted to comment on some of the music being nerdy but can`t remember where the songs were in the video.. 

 

Oh and thanks for making and posting that video.. B)

[MicroMachinery]

Break it in.

[bonvo]

havnt done a wet test yet it was 5 oclock we were tired lol

 

thanks im glad someone watched it it was long but the best way to document it thinking about doing the same with the datsun build as for the music i used some of my favorite songs by some of my favorite bands 

 

songs in order

 

borknager- colossus 

cradle of filth -forgive me father

dimmu borgir- kings of the carnival creation

hammerfall- way of the warrior

lordi- hard rock hallelujah 

kamelot-march of mephisto

 

break in comes tomorrow need to figure out a few kinks first 

 

video of startup

[bonvo]

 So what did the not putting the part on in  ( towards the end ) make you do ??

 

not to much we had to remove the bell housing and the oil pan we forgot the cam locking plate bolts 

[bonvo]

went out and messed with the oil pump a little as i was having low oil pressure at idle and put the last parts on it then took it out to seat the rings. im seriously doubting my dads compression tester at this point it runs way to good and way to smooth and pulls to good to still have 100 psi of compression 

 

 

 

still having oil pressure issues at idle once its hot not sure what the deal is any ideas?

[bonvo]

got the oil pressure sorted out now to just drive it 

[darrel]

what was the oil pressure issue?

[bonvo]

the o ring that came with the rebuild kit for the oil pump was to thick oil was bypassing not pumping

SHE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

lol, glad too see the progress =D

[bonvo]

it runs great need to get rid of this craptachi though such a shitty carb

[bananahamuck]

Almost looks like you could make a homemade adapter to be able to put an old GM Mono jet type one on there....Ford made a tiny old carb for those falcon sixes but they might be harder to find parts for..

[bonvo]

its eventually going to get the weber off the datto when i go with my su's 

[d510addict]

hmm i miss my gl turbo, those motors are.craptastically terrible, but i liked push button 4wd, power everything and 30 mpg.

[bonvo]

i wouldnt say terrible but definatly nor a performance platform 

 

anyway gave her a bath today next nice day ill wax it with the buffer 

 

[MicroMachinery]

I love it when the decals get old and start cracking like that. Gives it so much character..

[bonvo]

i like it to it matches the not so perfect paint this car has very mild pantina and it looks good for what i use it for

[bonvo]

well ever since i had the car the door has caught on the fender i started with this

 

 

now im no body guy but its alot better then it was before

 

 

over all it looks alot better and the whole car isnt perfect so i wasnt to worried about making it a perfect fender again especially with the rust it has but underneath it looked good no real rust to be seen even around the hood hinges which always rot out of these things

[bonvo]

and here i thought someone said something about my car i freaking need a ban hammer lol

[Skib]

The day of reckoning is nigh... I reckon...Mmhm...

[bonvo]

thanks skib

[bonvo]

well today i took out my lower motor to see why i havnt had flow threw the heater box in the 1.5 years ive owned this thing  well today i found this 

 

and this 

 

so i got out the gloves and a shop vac and got this as a result 

 

and then apoxied the hamster wheel back together 

 

and we decided that the old drunk guy i bought this thing from is a very sneaky man the car had wiring for a breatholizer when i got it and i found this wedged in the heater controls looks like he was using one of thoses spare tire air compressors to get past the breatholizer 

[Eagle_Adam]

lolz  :rofl:   :rofl:

 

 

i think you underestimate the power of the sneekyness my good sir!!!!
