I'm going to throw titanium with clear powdercoat. It really looks decent in low light and in the sun it pops just the right amount. [IMG]
I gotta say, you shouldn't concern yourself with any of this age bullshit. Life really is too short. If you're happy, screw it, you're doing it...
It's all in the genes, you either have them, or you don't.
Yes, the motor speed is varied, based upon a signal from a temp sensor in the coolant. It can also control the fan operation.
I don't think I'm going to go that route. The controller is big and it's not supposed to be installed in direct sunlight, actually made for inside...
Just got off the phone with the boys. The pump arrived yesterday and Rob and Phil are looking at what is going to be required to machine the block...
Man, I hope I never lose my passion and curiosity when I get up in years.

Seal for the water pump showed up yesterday. So, I went over and met up with Rob this afternoon and he started doing his thing. Rob had already...
Sure seems that way. It is a function of available time to invest. If I'm not around to push the rope up the hill, I'm never in a hurry about it,...
There was no joy in RVFville, shaft seal did not arrive. So, no progress on the water pump. They are telling me 04.04 for delivery now. Time is...
I hope that blue button is the gateway to finally being done with this project :Whistle: Where have I heard that before.....
It's starting to come together, the bearings for the water pump arrived from Boca Bearing today. I also received the water pump cover and housing...
The bearings were $70 including shipping - Boca Bearing The NTN seal was $20 including shipping - Motion Industries Two sets of o-rings were $34...
The fix is in for the water pump. It will take a little machining of a couple pieces, but should end up with a new mechanical seal set installed...
You got that right.
