Ok, folks, the fun begins. Got the last of
the parts in today, so can start the assembly tomorrow. Waited for UPS to
deliver the oil control rings all day - so was down in the dumps when
1600 rolled around and no UPS truck. So maundered down to the mail
box and their wedged into its opening was a USPS package - not
UPS!
Going to sit down tonight with a bowl of pop corn
and watch Bruce T perform the assembly part. I noticed that the
transcript did not have anything on the reassembly - so assume that I either
got tired of listening to Bruce, figured that the assembly was just the
reverse of the disassembly - or lost that part.
Got all the rotor parts in plastic sandwich bags
marked for which rotor, which side of rotor and which apex. For most
parts it really doesn't matter but, for instance, is very important when
replacing the oil control seals to put the springs back correctly according to
direction of rotation and side of the rotor. Also important on the side
seals to get them in the right slot or else all that work trimming the side
seals to get that precision fit is lost.
First time I've actually had new rotors and
housings - I like the looks - though not necessarily what they
cost. But, Bruce gave the best price out of three quotes I
got. Just wanted you to know.
