Morning Rob! Let's just say I'm glad my rafters are bolted together not just nailed.........lol

 

Haven't really decided yet, I should clean the mess in the shop so I have a little more room to move and maybe start the boxing plates on the front frame rails.

 

I had several meetings with the LLC yesterday, and in between meetings Harley and I cleaned the main shop. I now have two clean benches!

 

I finally figured out what was going on with my bug engine. The oil pump idler gear pin was protruding out the back of the pump housing. The cam gear is riveted to the camshaft with three rivets. As the cam was turned the rivets would hit the pin. Once I got the pump pulled and saw the rivets and the pin I tapped the pin back in and staked the housing to prevent it from happening again.

 

Good job! Gonna have it up and running soon?

 

Cylinders and Pistons today and more if I have time.

 

Are we still talking about the bug engine?

 

Yes..............

 

Just checking.....you know us postitutes.

 

Maybe use Jim's picture of her feet as an avatar?............................lol

 

Yeah John I was second guessing myself like a big dog. Thought I had something wrong inside like a part fell in or a bearing had rolled. Man was I glad to find that.

 

What type of VW you working on Rob?
