My activities for the month of stardate 20636 are/is

[Smucky]

Got a ton of stuff to do. Plus looks like all my tractor parts are on snail mail. Out of three packages I hoped to have before this weekend, one just shipped. One has a blank status. And the next is "preparing to ship".

I think I'll play Morrowind

Now to bed

[Smucky]

Awake but not really

[Smucky]

Finally all tractor parts have been shipped. I guess I'll be messing with it mid next week

But for now, Morrowind

I never got around to that. Was screwing with some AI isolation ideas I had. And now it is almost daylight
Also spent a bunch of time looking at THC websites

Now awake

Happy new gay day

For today, I think I'll try to get the pistons completely clean. And hate to do it, but probably going to have to use soap and water. I need to really make sure there is not crap in the pin bearings and I'm too lazy and lack the right tools to get the wrist pins out. So soap water and power blast with water hose followed by a dunk in gasoline/oil mix to "dry" it off. Then wrap in a trash bag and toss back into the barn for later insertion.

[Smucky]

Need to paint the head too.

[Smucky]

Piston cleanse went alright.

First the soap scrub

Then a rinse and power blast with hose

Then a blow job

Then dunk in gas and oil mix

Profit

[Smucky]

Stuck in trash bag. Dumped more oil and gas in and tossed in barn

You are going to rebuild engines until you like so that you become a real man, not some Morrowind fag stuff .

BTW. You need torque wrench and the specs for every bolt.

Now awake

For today I think I'll change the gas tank and carburetor on the pressure washer. Make it run like new. And I'll use that to pressure blast the oil pan from the tractor. Since it's covered in goo.

[Smucky]

Done

[Smucky]

Also the oil pan and pressure washer weigh the same

[Smucky]

Now I'm going to bed

See how the nice new white gas tank is speckled in SHIT? That was what my entire body looked like

Also the new carburetor made no difference in how the machine ran. Still only runs (if you are lucky) if you have the choke at half way

[Smucky]

Dental checkup crap today

[Smucky]

Ok tomorrow,
Will begin the tractor engine rebuild
I guess I will start by changing the main bearings. There are three + the thrust bearing which in the motor goes on the end of the crankshaft instead of the middle So won't be able to change that. Pretty sure I change the two in the middle, and then the one of the front is being the oil pump, should be able to change that one as well.

Then inspect the o-ring seals for the cylinder sleeves some more then drop sleeves in.
Then get rings on pistons. New rings are of lower quality than stock. Stock has a full chrome coating, not the new ones though But gap on old rings was .030+ while new rings were .014 so I guess I'll go with new..
Then put in pistons.
Should probably then pour in some water and let it sit over night to see if there are any leaks. Would ULTRA SUCK to put the whole thing together and have it still leak

Than maybe friday work on installing oil pan, cylinder head, valve stuff

[Smucky]

I've been dreading on working on this all day. And now it's almost dark I guess I should maybe get started
