Spoke to Steve, and Ken today....
Did very little else. I think I got the crank adapter thing figured out. I'll send out the drawing, and the template for the holes that'll need drilling to make it tomorrow.
The rest of the time ( what little I had today) was spent making the 3 am demon happy..
I have a 3am demon. If by some chance I wake up at that time ( usually just to pee), the 3am demon pays a visit.
The 3am-d gets in my head, and decides to hash out potential WTF's that may, or may not be worth worrying about. The last time he visited me was based on the oil pump pickup tube spacing off of the floor of the pan,..my design pro's/cons, and whether or not I should have followed the same practice(s) the factory did.
In a previous build,..I had to remove the engine after a start up attempt, because I had the pickup,tube too close to the floor of the pan..despite the fact that I have already had a previous version of this homemade system working in the monster, I have obsessed over where I've placed the pickup tube in the tooge. The factory decided to add a secondary support to keep the pickup tube exactly where it was placed, but I did not.
Today, I changed that though. Now I've got more spacing between the pan floor, and the pickup. And I've got a secondary mount point to keep it there.
