No problem unless the car computer outsmarts itself when it detects time going backwards (99-00) and decides its real time clock is defective. The results from this could be either a Check Engine Soon light (with Replace ECU code stored) to resetting the of RTC time to something it thinks is reasonable, like 01/01/94 00:00:00 (as does the Award BIOS in my cheap Taiwanese Pentium when the rollover occurs).

There are a lot of things that won't be y2k compliant, and I would feel comfortable agreeing that some luxury cars have dates buried in their code somewhere for logging purposes. But in reality, if the date is wrong, does the car not function? Naaaah. Just log the wrong date.

The Italians have many many cars that get along just fine without using a vac advance. While USA/Eng/Asian have relied on them for years, not so from across the other ocean. And how many motorcycles bother with a vac advance?. While a knock sensor sounds nice, a properly tuned would only need it when junk gas is bought. They can also lure the owner into a false security. Which I'm sad to say I'm finding happening way to often. With a knock sensor no audible ping, so granny saves a few pennies here and there on gas, but anytime she gets on it the timing retards, and carbon builds up unessecarily. Enough builds, and eventually the little flakes break off and hold an exhaust valve just slightly off it's seat. Valve runs too hot, and burns. So granny never heard that she should have been running better gas, since there was no ping, and now at 50K needs a valve job. If ya feel the need for running a KS, I'd strongly recommend a visual/ audible alert when it's triggered.

Oops, seems I may have stuffed up with some previously uploaded Bins, I thought they were all 27256, seems the auto trans ones must be 27512's. This would include - BLCB, BWFU, and BWCS9976. Sorry if this has caused any drama's for anybody, I'm pretty sure the Manual Bins are O.K as the checksum works.

It sounds crazy but shearing fuel/air, and flat walls aint that bad. Depending on your purpose, might due just as well letting the fuel take it's own course. Blowing the fuel against a deflector, may do exactly the opposite of what you'd expect. Intake air is very dynamic. Bruce >I don't think so.

I don't know how you would do that with carbon, but that must be it. Carbon fiber work is pretty common (there is actually a operating plant about 200-300 meters away from where I work making large amounts of carbon fiber). I guess they could have a process for putting together carbon fibre and then running some process against it to solidify it together. I expect we are talking about thousands per piston though, but they would be nitrous/blower/knock proof.

Lotsa folks don't realize it, but the end to end height of std. tolerance Timken type tapered roller bearings (inner race at one end to outer race at the other end) varies about .008"! You will need to reset the pinion depth to have it right. IIRC, the +.001 means to add .001" to the standard pinion depth in the housing, as measured from the centerline of the carrier bearings (the parting line of the carrier bearing caps). So a +1 pinion replacing a 0 MIGHT require .001" LESS shim IF the new bearing were the same height as the old one. Again, IIRC, the standard pinion depth dimension for a Dana 44 is 2.625"---BUT CHECK ME ON ALL OF THIS!!!

Well, yeah, but really, it was injected right about at the combustor--so they could burn more fuel without melting stuff, and make LOTS more power, but not too efficiently. Early 707's did the same thing. I think that turbo-fan engines (which are essentially a turbo-prop with a ducted propellor) superceded the need to do this.

That one is fine, it is aimed perfectly at the back of the valve. The other port gets no fuel at all, so the walls, valve stem and the back of the valve get thickly coated with carbon and burned oil after a time. Because of the arangement of the manifold and head, I can't just insert a second injector aimed at the other valve without machining the heads (the runner continues for another 4-5 inches in the head).

You add a very concentrated cleaner to the gas, which is then tun through the system, from the filter forward under pressure. You run the engine through a cycle with this beasy connected and the intake valves, cyls, lines, and injectors are clean enough you couls eat off of them. I was a doubter myself 'till my brother called me and said they needed a guinea pig for the distributor to demonstrate the gizmo on - and knowing my AeroScare was misbehaving, and he could not fix it. Never know it was the same truck. The unit is expensive - several thousand if I remember correctly, and my brother has not bought one - yet. Apparently they are also "rotunda" branded and sold to Ford dealers - and sold under several other brand names. About the same size as an antifreeze recycler or bar fridge. ------------------------------ End of DIY_EFI Digest V4 #53 **************************** To subscribe to DIY_EFI-Digest, send the command: subscribe diy_efi-digest in the body of a message to "Majordomo@xxx.
