Last time I invite you to a lecture at skunk-works... sheesh! go to all that trouble with security and you blab it about, don't even want to know where you hid the beta camera gear!... gonna loose my wendle sprocket you know!




Well at least I have this rare part, and everyone thinks the tool kits are pricey! Ha Ha Ha...

If anyone has ever wondered what fit into the so called diagnostic socket, well here it is - complete with diagram and all. socket attachment highlighted orange.
Last time I fired one up I lost 2 sinusoidal spurmoths via wending, not happy about that. the update on this apparently handles that flub-up. As mentioned in the paperwork provided..

Quote:

The early attempts to construct a sufficiently robust spiral decommutator failed largely because of lack of appreciation of the large quasi-pietic stresses in the gremlin studs; the latter were specially designed to hold the roffit bars to the spamshaft. When, however, it was discovered that wending could be prevented by the simple addition of teeth to socket, almost perfect running was secured.

one pin on the lotus-O-delta panendermic semiboloid solt stator has the aforementioned teeth.

So don't come crying to me when your alternator can't synchronize it's impedance due to the inductive inrush on the primaries....


dragg'd into the real world.... mmmumble grumble... I like my theoretical world just fine... keeps my hands clean and my pockets stained with ink! running out of walls to write on though, management isn't fond of all the "doodles" & "gibberish" ... gonna loose my calculator privileges now...

her's a couple features I could add

Hahaha...

Great way to start a day..


I'm amazed at the amount of work you've put into this project, it's makes me think of "just one more thing" as my son says as I read over the posts and see where the fun is going.

I was thinking... your going to have to have some kind of tension filled ceremony at start-up and then a premier party! Then a world tour...

I do not know how I avoided commenting on this...

NOPE. The real V12's did not use regular acorn nuts. They used nuts with a separate little domes of thin steel that are
"pinched on" the lower nut. With this construction, if you put these on a long stud and tightened and tightened, you
would not break the stud, it would just pop through the thin steel dome. Acorn nuts have a strong solid dome. Of
course with a shorter stud you can still over-tighten the nuts with the separate domes. The domes are not hemisphere
but are a little more peaked. Also, the real V12 cam cover nuts are not stainless, they are clear cad = silver cadmium plated.

I should really define what I mean by a "real V12". I Really do not want to be snooty. I really mean not the modern cars,
the ones after 1990 or so that do not appeal to me at all.

They are made with little caps because they are acorns nyloc style.

Wait, wait wait......are you 2 saying something on my engine is not concourse correct ?????












Thanks. I thought the cap or folded type were primarily a cost or weight thing so I didn't bother to hunt down the correct ones.....I may need to rethink that.

I held off responding to this one because it's an issue that has been floating in my mind for some time and still I'm not sure how to handle it exactly.

My thought has been I'll probably publicly say "its not ready" then quietly go try it but the reality will probably be more along the lines of a series of system checks and one day I'll just report that as part of the days testing it fired up for some amount of time. There is just SO much stuff that has been touched that I'm expecting a month or 2 of do-over type stuff as I move through systems checks leading to first run, then probably the whole rest of the season in other adjustments (aka do-overs) once it does run.

This became a HUGE project.......but at some point there will be a party!

Well, this bit me. The coils arrived yesterday as did the connectors. Both claimed to be D585 but the connectors do not fit the coils so somebody is lying.......

On further inspection the parts do work together.....there was an snap-on seal retain/adapter with the connector and snapped together it fits the coil so false alarm.
