"The bush mechanic promotes competent behaviour and has a strong emphasis on practical knowledge and wisdom instead of technical skills."

While the whole definition doesn't 100% apply I've never been more acuraltly described.....

I am a bush mechanic..  :o



Ps..  Now fuel gauge is broken...
Driving home today in traffic on 590 south I ran out of gas on the uphill portion of the can of worms exit onto 490 east...  Made to home on fumes... Bucking and coasting...

M4 solution, LS and tons....
Bush mechanic solution, carry spare points and start clocking mileage

Bush mechanic solution #2: fill up tank every day and clock miles on trips over 100mi.

But I'm lazy that way.

BM option easier and more traditional with Rover!
No Roto paks or at least Jerry cans on that beast?

600 Miles this past month on the Rover..
I've been really putting some miles on this guy...


Have 2 ever pressing leaks that need to be addressed..

- Rear main Seal has been plaguing me for 2 years..
still have good oil pressure and I'm watching the level..  job requires pulling the motor
- Pinion seal is leaking in the rear (Dana 60)
already tried a new yoke and seal a couple years ago.
I have a feeling I either have an unbalanced rear driveshaft and or I need to think about rebuilding the rear end this winter.
watching it and topping fluid off

Have to do another quick tune this weekend..
-adjust valves
-new plugs
-timing
-carb

Koeing winch on way down to SVE for rebuild
Fixed all bad grounds with massive ground straps

New grill installed to get rid of the crappy plastic unit.

John Twist (University Motors LTD in Detroit) explained that for the BMC 4s as well. I'm still trying to decide how deep I want to go. Based on spark plug and the "ear diagnostics" I think I do need to adjust the valves. Just not sure I trust myself enough. Not like I can really hurt anything though...
