PM enroute, will take the Warne 30mm Meds

On Gen 2, the ram now goes up and then back down a little at the end of the stroke, correct? This is what they are calling cam-over? What is the perceived benefit if this?

Looking good.

Couple of questions/suggestions for you,
Are you going to replace the smooth tensioner pulley with a toothed pulley for the blower to avoid damaging the belt ?
After destroying an engine due to pieces of blower belt getting between the crank pulley & timing belt I would suggest making a cover/shield to avoid the same costly mistake.
(belt had done 2 passes)

Regarding the belt/idler setup, I've never seen anyone run one that way. They are always baby smooth. The "backside" of a blower drive is pretty dramatic. My guess is, it'd ruin the belt pretty quickly as they tend to flop around a lot. The belts don't get snugged up the way a serpentine does.

The pump on the left is for oil, and the one to the right is the fuel pump. I have a couple of Moroso crankcase vacuum pumps lying around and debated bolting one onto this thing. I don't because the oil pump should be more than adequate to evacuate the crankcase. I also made a pair of burn-down breathers up top on the valve covers. These'll vent to a collection box in the trunk.

One of my tasks this week is to pull a valve cover and drill/tap for 1/8NPT for a sensor that'll monitor crankcase pressure/vacuum. -Hoping for vacuum. The more the merrier, as it makes everything work better.

He should've specified that.
The way it's worded strongly suggests he's one of those bleeding heart liberals that believe the United States should apologize to the Japs for nuking their asses into submission after their initial rejection of the Potsdam Declaration.

It was Progressive Democrats like Roosevelt who 'created' the 'Homes away from home' for the Japanese... Executive Order 9066.

Progressive New Deal majorities in House and Senate did not vote on it, but did not speak out against it, either. Including Lyndon Johnson... then a Congressman from Texas... Mr. Civil Rights never said a word!

Democrats now act like it was evil Republicans who interned the Nisei. It was not... they were in the minority... a Wilderness politically that they would not emerge from until after the war and, really, the 1952 election of Eisenhower.

Just 'sayin. The Democrats love to make out that the Republicans are the party of war and slavery and American Concentration Camps. Along with the extermination of the Injuns, etc. Democrats and 'progressives' (Southern Democrats in particular) were behind most of it, politically! All the way back to Andrew Jackson... who created 'mob rule' whining that "we are a Democracy..." not a Republic. Where do you think "The Republicans (founded c. 1855) got their name? To protect The Republic... from the mob rule Southern Democrats and their 4 million 'pieces of property' that they would not relinquish.

This thread is a prime example of the complexities that come along with running a gas gun and many of those complexities are often over simplified.

Can an overgassing situation cause feeding and ejection malfunctions? I think so.

I think this is well put.

Gassing changes the dynamic of how the system functions. Changes in the system or how the system functions has a ripple effect on other components in the system and create consequences.

Ultimately, we have learned a lot but I don't think we're at the finish line. Just this morning I was listening to some of the lessons being learned from the 6.8 high-pressure ngsw stuff

I'm worried they're going to try to make it too John Wickish or too based on some emotionally gay story about being brothers. The Accountant was good because it had the right mix of story and action.

The apartment scene where he put that dude through the sink is still one of my all time favorite beat downs in a movie.

The earliest 40X 22RF actions were based on the older M721 CF receivers & straight bolt handle, while the 40XB was based on the early M700 with the swept bolt handle.

ETA - I've seen some nice MB repeater conversions done just as you're describing to resemble a M40 rifle.

What kind of Churros are they selling?

Are you running both a dry sump pump and a vacuum pump or are they separate scavenge and pressure pumps ?
I remember the injected BBC Chevette Pro Street car that Peterson oiling systems built back in the 80's
I worked at Brad Anderson Enterprises in the early 90's and worked on a lot of cool stuff out in SoCal.

How do you get the seekins for under 2k? Or are you looking in the used market?

BTT no one needs an excellent 6mm brake?

Funny story.
If you search to find who started the catholic church they claim Jesus did.
I find that very funny and tragic.

... why do some 40x have a straight bolt handle and some have the swept handle seen on most 700s?

Click to expand...

Nice AI summary:

"Remington introduced the swept-back bolt handle on the Model 700 in January 1962. This was part of the overall design of the new rifle which included a more streamlined tang and graceful trigger guard. The bolt handle was further swept back in 1969, but changed back to a closer angle in 1974 due to complaints from hunters about their trigger fingers getting rapped when shooting magnums."

Previous to 1962 the 40X was closer to the straight bolt handle 721.

5 speed Ferraris have reverse above first…like most racing inspired 5 speed shift patterns.

“Straight” First to second shifts are great for 0-60 times but are not as important as the H pattern where it counts while on track.

Add to it you never go from 5th to 2nd so there is limited probability of jumping to reverse if something goes wrong.

Yup, that's usually called a dog leg pattern. Lots of homologation cars use that pattern as well as cars that manufacturers want to have a racy image.
190e Cosworths, 928's, Countach, E30 M3, Stratos (and by extension the Stratos HF Zero I posted above) all have doglegs. It used to be a point of pride, now most people have never heard of it.

Beautiful car that may or may not have a dogleg, for your enjoyment.
