Yes wouldve been current one but broke up about 2 months ago, sick of the bullshit, so its just me and my daughter now. Moving her to the house in Middleboro for Sept.1 so she can start school and Im going to go back and forth so that I can be in for Oct. Its going to take awhile to move all my tools & parts.



You know you wrote the drain plug twice. I can wait until Thurs or Fri if you want. That way you dont have it hanging around, I also forgot your parts.


Ken I realized yesterday that you forgot the grill and the steering wheel buttons, among other stuff.

hope it works out in your favor... good luck. For some reason I thought that stuff was at the shop :doh: ah well, I'll bring the battery by when I get a chance and swap ya. Anything else you need at the same time? Get that harness working? PS I realized something... did you pull the distributor at TDC compression or TDC exhaust? I know you wanted to line stuff up so it'd just drop into your other one, so that's something to think about.

EDIT: looks like the LDS-465 really likes to spit out the particular piece of head gasket mine lost. I've found no fewer than 3 different threads that all have pictures of the exact same failure. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/35604-bad-head-gasket.html (it's not presently loading for me, but that's what it looks like, post number 8)

Yes, I saw that - the ghettocharged miata article.

I am NOT going to get this thing done ghetto. Not happening. I want the damn thing to be working and driving like it has been, not yet another project. So far (and hell even right now with 1 cylinder venting out the back of the engine) it has always been driveable through all the repairs and upgrades I've done, and I want to keep it that way as much as possible. If that means paying to have someone mill the head right, and even rebuild it, so be it.

I wasn't saying you were going to do it all ghetto style; I was saying that smaller shops that deal with cars might not be able to do it in one pass but could prolly do it in 2+ if needed, or if a smaller place couldn't do it maybe a truck shop could :dunno:

If you need a hand moving anything let me know. I could prolly swing by and lend a hand or 2.

I just realized that I just finished updating easily $2 million (probably more like easily $3 million +) worth of drives... Not the first time that I have done large numbers of stuff like this... just reminded me that sometimes my salary seems a bit insignificant :wow:
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

My Heleta order arrives today. I might be punching some 5" holes through 3/8" plate today. Either that or getting started on the spud shaft. Both?
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Cut off output of 231 shaft, bore hole into it, bevel it.
Cut off output of transmission shaft, turn a nub to press fit the hole, bevel it
press together and get it true
Weld the bejesus out of it

Rather than just boring a hole into one half shaft and turning a nub on the other, wouldn't it be stronger if you cut a groove across the full width of the 321 shaft and made a long (full width) flat that inserted into the groove on the output shaft? (sorry for the :gee: description, I don't remember much of my ME verbiage from back in Freshman year, pretty much thinking like a flat head screwdriver sits into a flat head screw).

I would think that if you use a hole/nub approach your weld would be absorbing all of the rotational force. If you used the flat head screwdriver in a screw approach the shafts themselves would absorb most (ideally all) of the rotational force plus doing that would give you more surface to weld :dunno: If my description makes absolutely no sense maybe I will fire up solidworks tonight and try to remember how to use that software to explain what I am thinking.

So the only problem I have found with getting a cup of chili for lunch is the fact that I can smell the empty cup in the trash and kinda want more chili now..

Edit: DAMNIT, I was about to leave the office for the day and spend the rest of the afternoon working from home so I don't get distracted/pulled away from the work I have to get done by anyone here (and could be done with my work earlier so I can start working on the Jeep earlier)... and then I just got reminded that we have a next-gen design review in a little over an hour that usually runs until 5:30-6PM. fawk.

I think the turned shaft idea is better than the slotted shaft idea for a couple of reasons:
* shaft will be centered, only worry is getting it true while welding. A slotted shaft, you have to worry about it sliding along the slot as well as not being true.
* more weld cross section if done right (i.e. 45 degree bevels out from the portion that's turned and pressed)

Let me see if my current yokes are U-bolt yokes. Can I call you around 6 or is that too late?

Sounds like a decent idea, but figure out how to actually make that then let me know.

That's what I'm most concerned about... I think I'll be able to get it strong enough.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

wtf, during the summer when it was hot out all the local friends were elsewhere in the country or busy with this that and the other thing so I had nothing to do and I wasn't too motivated to go work on the jeep in the heat after work.

Now it's cooler out and I am motivated almost every night but now I keep getting calls to go out and be social after work. I think I might be anti-social tonight.
