remember me talking about the noise the distributor
was making well, i am starting to think that noise is infact a compression
leak. the reason why i think that is because i put the bus in gear on a
hill, as i always do, and it rolled a bit, never has done that before. and
since usually the compression is what keeps itfrom rolling i have concluded
that i need to run a compression check on the damn thing.l
this was the end of the fabubus and i am not going to let it be the end of
hershey. that and i have like a truckload of dual port heads laying around.
so i will give more info on the results probably monday because i am done
with the thing for now, it is starting to upset me so that is the fine time
to quit working on it today.
more later.
