i think he means did you get the flywheel cut or turned. truck looks good. sucks bout the motor. we still need to go wheeling soon. if i get everything done with mine, ill be up there sunday with a few friends

 

O ok in that case nope. Haha didnt get ghe flywheel spun. But sunday is way too soon for me right now. Take a lot of pics

 

Yeah, typed it on the run, ...... not having it turned at all, Vang? Just looking at that disc..... got me a lil curious on the look of the flywheel.

Anyway, Sunday is too soon???? NOOOOOO, hurry up, wanna see it airborne! lol.

 

i feel so lonely up here in northwest wa. wish i had some yt buddies to go wheeling with.

 

Lets see how mach i can get done by sunday i was gonna hit the mountain in the runner but its still sitting on 4:10 in the front and i want to run on some fresh snow, just too lazy to swap ot out haha

And truckman, theres an aparment ready to be rented out next to mines

 

Truckman...... not many in the NW of WA? I know there's lots of WA Wheelers...... Thought I even saw a "Yotatech Wheelers of WA" or something in the likeness of that, lol. Maybe "PNW Yotatech Roll Call"?

Vang........ STOP BEING LAZY! hahaha. My buddy I used to spar with visited some buddies in the Diaz Gym up there and did some cruising of their harley's, etc.

 

Im working on it i do want some snow pic so who knows when the diff is gonna go in. Hopefully we get more snow in the moutain

 

hope all is going well vang

 

Everything is slowly coming together the sun is slowly starting to set alittle later but not a whole lot. But still have to come home and babysit the two boys (dogs) before they tear down the apartment. But I hope to get it running by this weekend

Anyways off topic for a while ....

Who are you guys going for, for super bowl?

I wanted the 49ers to go just cause they were the only California team that actually got close enough but now since they're not going Im in on the giants haha

 

Repeat of SB 42

 

hurry up haha. well dont rush it, just get it done. i plan on going up this sunday. so lmk before if you get it done by than. good luck

 

Ill let u know whats happening by then. How was the weather/conditions up in the moutains?

And yes another repeat of super bowl 42..i hope haha

 

weather was awesome. i didnt leave fresno till 11am. was up there till 4ish. sunday and just perfect

 

Yea I watch it last night on the NFL channel, great game. Hope the sundays outcome is the same.

 

Ok here's the scoop so far. The piston rings came in and while installing it the top ring wouldn't fit into the cylinder The 1st and 2nd rings goes in nice and tight but not the top one so I really have no clue if they package the rings wrong or whatever it is. My dad is taking the rings in while I'm at work and well find out what's going on hopefully when I get off

 

Oh good grief! Sorry for ya, man! Hmmmmmmm, I'm anxious to see what this is, but I'd rather it just WORK FOR YA! lol.

Best wishes, Vang.

 

You could put the ring in the cylinder, use the top of a piston to level the ring out in the bore. Then measure the ring gap if it is way to tight the ring may be to big. It's a good idea to do that with all the rings prior to putting them on the piston. You also get a good look at your end gaps to see if they are in spec. Did you clean the groves in the piston. I take a old ring and brake it in half. Or cut it in half, then use one of the edge to clean the grove.

 

if you use a old ring. make sure you tape off the end you hold. that stuff will give you major paper looking cuts

 

Thats exactly what I did. Break the old ring in half but didn't use anything to cover the other end to prevent cuts. I already get cuts daily fixing cars haha I hate it and I can't work with gloves it's just not comfortable for me. Got a new set of rings and had not test them out yet. I'll keep you guys posted

 

i know what you mean bout cuts daily. it sucks i been good not getting them lately. its only when i do interior work. its extremely dangers under the dash
hope the install goes well and by sunday haha jk. take your time
