Another great post regarding injectors.

I'll just drop this excellent post in from Sakurama's Not so Subtle Shuttle thread.

Absolutely do not buy Ford split shot injectors. They weren't great technology 20 years ago and they certainly aren't now. I'll get aftermarket single shot or hybrid injectors and a tune to match. I also feel like I should rebuild my turbo or at least pull it apart and clean it to check...

Lots of gray smoke on start up and it's slow to start when it's cold out. 205,000 miles, original injectors.

I got my results back from Schaeffer, all normal. I'll try to figure out a way to post them for anyone that is curious. I had no idea what the results page would look like.

Next project was an oil change. I never complained about the cost of an oil change on any of my bikes or cars before. It's easy to do and really pretty cheap insurance and maintenance. Same story with Grumman but jeeze, 4 gallons of oil? Oil change by Petrolburner, on Flickr I don't like...

I did the 25 hours of Starvation Ridge (daylight savings time change) on a team of 5 that turned into 3, in the mud. If I ever do it again I'll pay a couple bucks extra to register late once we know it won't be mud. Fun place to race and a good group of people.

Tubliss is amazing and so is this van. What class do you race?

For what it's worth, I'm really leaning towards the long travel 2WD setup, 32” tall tires on stock dually rims to keep cost and complication low. Need money for diesel, time off and retirement planning. How big does the snowball need to get and is it worth it?

Whose limit is 12' 6"?

Well, I'm still not exactly healed but I have some strength and range of motion back in my left arm. I went 3 wheelering in the snow with a buddy of mine and it was a blast. Untitled by Petrolburner, on Flickr Unfortunately I towed the Big Red behind my CR-V on an open trailer and it was...

Well that's good news. At least it washes off. If you were driving around my home state of Wisconsin they'd be white this winter and cancerous red the next year.

That's really not rusty?

Haha that's cool! I beat you in screw count though.

This next hardware installation is indirectly related to the progress on the BoxVan, or lack thereof. The good news is that the fit up was great and everything was tight at the 2 week post-op inspection yesterday. There is evidence of recalcification along the fracture already and that's a...

Nice looking Chevy on the WeldTec kit.

I answered this question a lot with my old Motovan. The 5.4 with appropriate gearing was totally fine. I would always point out how many VW vans are out there with totally inadequate engines. They break down more than most and go up hills at lower speeds. My 5.4 had to rev to hold the speed...

It's in his signature already. Just click on it and you're there.

First layer plan. I wanted to avoid having the 4 corners lining up and making a weak spot. First layer of flooring by Petrolburner, on Flickr First layer of flooring by Petrolburner, on Flickr Note the cat that I've trained to stay on the stack of moto tires. If she jumps down to wander...

I've enlisted the help of professionals. They chose the size and amount of titanium hardware to install. The installation was done on Tuesday afternoon. The goal is to move as little as possible for the next two weeks so the bones can get tacky and expedite the fusing process.
