Greetings,
After some email exchanges,
and general soul searching, I called Bruce today to see what my options
were.
One is the Renesis, at
about $5700 complete from him. He's got a few of these in stock BTW.
At this point, I just can't imagine starting over with an engine installation,
and that's just about what it would be. Can't think of much that wouldn't
have to be modified, so this just ain't gonna
happen.
Second option is the
easiest of all, and quite a bit cheaper, so that's the way I'm going.
I'll have Bruce supply two new (ceramic coated) 9.7 rotors, and I'll keep my
good front rotor for the single rotor project. I may let him get
it coated at the same time, haven't decided. Bruce will also supply a new
center, and rear housing, and will port them to match the front housing I
already have (which he originally ported). I might even send him the
stationary gears as well, to make sure he agrees that the bearings are
OK. I've already got the master rebuild kit on the
way, so all I should have to do is re-assemble the parts, and be right back
where I started. I'm guessing it would be 3-4 weeks before I get
everything in hand.
I'm going to have him leave
the oil filter boss intact this time, since I seem to have room for it.
Who had that 45 degree, angled down filter adapter block?
Paul?? Sure would solve my filter problems if I can make something
like that work. Can you post the pic again?
Anyway, that's the
plan. I'll sent Bruce an email tonight with the shopping
list.
Cheers,
Rusty (Wombats
rule)
