You must kill a chicken and sprinkle the blood on the keyboard, whilst dancing around the room in a fuzzy pink tutu, chanting assembler commands, then shave you ahead...or cat, doesn’t matter. A friend told me.

Oh Lyle.... how many mojito did you have dancing around in a fuzzy pink tutu?

Hmmm... Well I ain't got no chicken's, I'm allergic to cats and their is no way I'm shaving my beautiful long hair. Maybe I'll try beating it with a hammer while.eating some chicken nuggets.

That works, too...

Well shave your chest hairs instead......

Naw, been there with heart surgery. They itch growing back. We, err, my friend just braids them.

Got the computer back up and running it was both a PSU problem and the water block on the cpu had a restriction in it.

so for right now I've been working on the engine got a few seams to clean and I now see a injector knock out I missed. I also cut off the exhaust and replaced them with hollow tube and drilled out the end of hoses. More to come later




Thanks for looking

That looks really detailed. Nice!

Thanks Lyle everything in this kit is really detailed.

I am going to drop this link here—when I was struggling to scratchbuild a Maybach engine for Rommel’s GREIF I was curious how the factory finished their motors in each series. My conclusion was the majority of components were not painted, only valve and rocker covers. I know I have seen plenty of grey painted restored engines but I think the extremely short service life precluded a factory paint finish of the engine block. I am basing this on the Maybach from the Swedish “gift” Tiger II and two shots of Maybach engines from this link...

What are your thoughts?

Thanks Bruce that link is going to help a lot with painting the engine.
