docc

That's a fair question. That is exactly how my Sport started behaving when the early gearbox recall faults became obvious. Were any of the Rosso Mandello in the early gearbox recall? (680 V11 through April 2001 and VIN ending 11M114435):

I am often surprised to see members searching really old content. I often take a look at those threads as we have learned much, and have vastly better interface tools and understanding than we did in, say, 2003. I try to add links to more contemporary threads with current insight without altering the original threads. I do, however, often add notated edits to my own posts that turned out to be, well . . . less than totally correct. Or even completely misguided. I try to leave my unadulterated BS as is, since it is so obvious when docc is just bullshitting. (see above^ )

I'm just so jealous, that's all. I mean, I have 8 cylinders, but I have to start my Sport and the car up at the same time . . .

He and Tom would likely get along . . .

I did manage to scoop a couple images of Pressureangle's Charger from his Gallery . . .

Top, rear, right of the engine block inboard of the right cylinder.

Riviera Paradise!

Affirmative: all same length. And overtightening is likely to "squoze" the gasket out of the contact surfaces. Someday (I'm pretty sure) I'll need to replace my originals . . .

Check, also, the O-ring and seal the mating surface of the distributor blanking plate . . . You can always clean it all up and apply a coating of foot powder to see what gets discolored first.

(Aw, nuts, Pressureangle's image does not display for me . . . . )

Love this cat's crazy Ford . . .

Not sayin' any names, but the initials > Pressureangle < came up . . .

That sounds delightful. I just had to search Supersport Champion Melissa Paris . . . not disappointed!

I came across this delightful video of The Goodwood Revival. Something for everyone (even bikes)! Makes me so want a car that just will not idle . . . .

So, what is meant by "hot linking?" I used "copy image location" for the image above and it displays fine. I am using this feature exclusively to display others' images besides those I host on imgzeit . . .

Nice! I scrolled through the gallery for a Guzzi, but found this. Which still speaks to my, er, "Rhine geist!"

David Konings new thread on Scura fork settings in Technical Topics:

At noblewood's request, I have attempted to merge some tensioner and cam trust bearing content here. Not thrilled with the way that went. All the content moved, but went into one post. I'll get better at this, I promise.

Alright, so, I did move all of the tensioner and cam thrust bearing content to "How to . . .", but am not very happy with how it grouped into one post. I'll get better at practicing this new system of moving ("splitting") posts. I appreciate nobelswood's suggestion that the valuable technical content be sequestered and footgoose's concern that our invaluable technical resources remain searchable.

I wouldn't let anybody else say that about you, bud. You're a cool cat in my book!

Sheeesh. It's wonder my shit-tard old Sport has any compression left at all. I suppose I will have to get some pleated paper filters on hand for my impending 115,000 mile service. And the 125,000. That is my goal, as many of you know: 200.000 km. But it gives me premonitions, worries, weird lucid dreams, and the vision of pulling wildly into one more South'n Spine Raid and this . . .
