I'm begining to think the rotory gods don't want us to go to Rotor Rally this year. Started to put Melody's engine together under John's (partlymazda) watchful eye and put the second rotor on to the eccentric shaft and it wouldn't go on, AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH. So ordered another rotor baring and it won't be here till wednesday morning, AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH again. So I guess it's time to start the scuff and buff process. Going to "hopfully get most of the scuff and buff done today. If anyone has some spare time this afternoon I could use some help, I'll buy pizza, give me a call. 509-998-9024

Well if anyone has some extra time on there hands I could use some help getting some cars ready. Got from the door handles up scuffed yesterday. New rotor baring should be here today, going to get it pressed in and finish the engine, looking like a late night engine install.

Had a great time at Rotor Rally! About 4PM friday we got Melody's car running but it wouldn't stay running so after working on it for an hour we had to make the decision to leave her car home. So we loaded up the yelloooow vert and Melody's Old's and off we went.
Yesterday I found a couple of vaccum hoses loose on the back side of the UIM haven't had time to try and start it yet but will try to get to it today or tomorrow.

John looked at it sunday and it runs good now. The only thing he did differant than I did was pulled a differant fuse so we could turn the engine over with the plugs out. Pulling that fuse must have reset the computer because it started up and ran fare the first time we tried it, the gas has been in it forever so we are expecting that the gas may be bad. I put 20 or so mile on it, I'm trying to talk Melody into going to the BBQ in Yakima in a couple of weeks to help brake it in. I was going to drive the car to work this morning but couldn't find the key lol.
