Manana Rebuild Page 4 |
| It was about this time that I started to get real excited and was ready to drive this bus again. It had been a long winter and I was anticipating hearing MY engine run for the first time. As this was my first rebuild ever, I was stoked. | |

Took me 3 times to get it in as I forgot to install the throw out bearing the first time, then the clutch wasnt aligned perfectly. Third time it slipped right in and I bolted everything up. |

My bus having a snack.. |

DONE! I went to start it and it wouldnt fire for near 30 minutes. I was near the end of my rope when i found a loose wire that was labeled "Coil +" Did that and it fired right up. I adjusted the timing and idle and then broke the cam in. Then I drove it.....damn.....I did it |
