Alright, back to the business at hand. After cleaning the block more than I would have guessed sufficient (and drying it thoroughly), white paper towel on the bores still picked up brown, so I repeated the whole procedure a couple days later. First bit of assembly is the plugs. Big "freeze" plugs (which have nothing to do with protecting the motor from freezing, they're there...

Ok, just a few moments left on the engine assembly intermission. For now enjoy this week's favorite band, Gauchos. If this is any indication, kids in Argentina are mucho cool.

I don't know which I like best - the hair-flipping/headbanging, the dancing, or the air guitar. She's fantastic.

Brief interlude from the motor, but the cam & crank are in. need to make a decision about the rings... I'll post pics & progress this weekend.
Sometimes when I sign in here on the office computer, my page will show my friends' most recent journal entries. I really like that, how can I make my computer here at home do it?

I thank my dad all the time for the surplus military gear he got from his time in the air force. I use a field jacket liner inside my bike jacket now and I havent been cold once. Good shtuff.
feerlessfreddy:
those jackets are the best. i had one in high school. about two years ago i decided to get it out to wear it during winter. 
it didnt fit. so it just hangs in my closet. there is a store on jones and sahara, on the northeast corner that sells alot of surplus gear.

It seems that your auto shop teacher Mr. Bondolli is off on another bender, so I'll be your substitute again. This time if I catch anyone sneaking off to woodshop to make a hash pipe or a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it or whatever it'll be straight to the principal, got it? Very well. Now then, Mr. Bondolli's notes...

As to scrubbing parts, check this out:
It's too cold outside to do anything with the fiberglass, but I might as well get the chain lube, brake dust, and road grunge off so the resin will stick...

Alright, I was sick of my rant from the last brief journal entry already. New rant: Bought one of these
and one of these. The servo took 2 1/2 weeks to get here. They said they were sent the unanodized ones by mistake, but they didn't bother to ask me whether I cared, which I wouldn't have. So I waited for them to get...

You're so thoughtful! And don't worry about too much dangerous oxygen in my house. Between myself and my dog, the most prevalent gas in here is methane.

Thanks Wheezy
I'm a bit sad. I just got done working at Overton Beach Marina for the last time. If any other marina on the lake were closing down it wouldn't bother me nearly as much. Over the last ten or so years the owner, management & employees put everything they had into making it the best marina on the lake. Rebuilt the place from scratch, everything...

How will this affect your business?
Still extra busy at work, blah blah blah.
Today I overheard a conversation with this gem:
Adolescent girl 1: "She said galavanting? You were 'out galavanting around'? What the hell does galavanting even mean?"
Adolescent girl 2: "Galavanting is when you go have fun and some old person stays home and complains about it."

So you about to get everybody's toy boats moved?
So you about to get everybody's toy boats moved?
Super busy here, two marinas are moving due to dropping lake level. I've got something like 40 hoists to move before Feb. 1st. One a day is about the average depending on the particular situation. So probably 20 people will be very angry with me at the end of the month. Both the National Park Service and the marinas would have known this would be...

Nothing a how to manual can't fix....I hope.......
Opened up two entertaining pieces of mail today. The first was from the factory that produces the boat lifts we sell. Among other updates was this bright and cheery sentence: "We are pleased to announce the smallest price increase in our company's history" Oh really? I'm glad we're pleased, I hope our customers find it pleasurable as well. Plenty of years we've gotten no price...

Yeah, so fuck the new year. I resolve to stop being so goddamn happy and positive this year.
Just kiddin.
Whoa, Colorado was awesome, I've been home for a while now. I left just as blizzard2 was rolling in, my legs were shot & I pulled a back muscle pretty good. I didn't trust myself to stay off the board with fresh snow piling up,...

Happy New Year!!
Yes, the oil cooler is from a ZX6-R, and apparently attaches to the head on that bike. On my KZ750 there's an oil port on the right side below the ignition cover, and another port at the back of the oil pan. The one on the side uses a banjo bolt, but the one on the back takes a special fitting:
It has to plug one passage and open another one.
I'd really rather use an oil pan from a GPz750, which came stock with an oil cooler. I could lengthen these lines and it'd bolt right up.
