didnt know this man   wrote  many of my favorite songs…rip!

d

is not valve springs–we need to go find a compression tester and buy it for rest of engine check…this could take a few days….we also need to find the guy i was given fone number of so we can have injector pump rebuilt….
so we keep searching as we know these souls exist here–just under a good sized rock in summer..

the  il shaving was found in with   second from aftmost valve…..nice n clean, but how did it get there and why….

the  spatter ptttern on engine is odd..trying to find reason/cause….

and more….

so we are here in barra de navidad, actually the marina is isla navidad, just across the channel and in another estado, that of colima…20 miles north of manzanillo.
we removed the fuel tank that as problematic for so long, we will replace it with one we create, and it will have the appropriate pick up…for a change…
we will be tearing into engine soon–had to make room in bilge for mechanic to fit with engine…hard to do that with the fuel tank in place, so is a great time to do these changes.

dont know yet what it is gonna be as regards repairs of engine—havent gotten to that place yet…we will post pix of this repair situation we are doing–have the wifi, may as well post pix for a change–
is gorgeous here in summer.
