Nathan Avots-SmithDay 28: The engine and transmission have been rejoined! Big pain in the patoot—I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if the engine was already in the car.I have one more work day before my surgery, and one more day of work to get the engine and transmission ready for installation. Just need to put on the exhaust downpipes with new gaskets and hardware, plus new post-cat O2 sensors. <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/EngineSwap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EngineSwap</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/BMW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BMW</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/E39" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#E39</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/M54B30" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#M54B30</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WrenchEveryDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WrenchEveryDay</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarAnother, much slower one is evaporation. Gasoline will largely evaporate (may leave some yellow clumps behind - that's what blocks your carburettor in spring after not using the outboard all winter), diesel will not.I've also noticed they run through the same filter at vastly different speeds, but that's rather unspecific as I don't know the micron size of several layers of old t-shirt fabric 😆 <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Testing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Testing</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Fuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fuel</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarThe better way to test if a mystery fuel is diesel or petrol: Specific weight (weight per volume).Diesel is 822-845g/L, petrol 720-755g/L at 15°C (less when warmer, today it's about 20°C).Filter first and make sure you haven't got any water in (don't pump from the bottom).<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Fuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fuel</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a>

Nathan Avots-SmithDay 27: My flywheel/flex plate bolts got here a few days sooner than expected, so I'm getting a little more done this week than I thought I would. Had to wait until Johnny got home to torque them down, so that he could counter-hold the front crankshaft bolt, but the flywheel is on!Tomorrow I can install the torque converter and reattach the transmission to the engine. <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/EngineSwap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EngineSwap</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/BMW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BMW</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/E39" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#E39</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/M54B30" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#M54B30</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WrenchEveryDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WrenchEveryDay</a>

Fortunately that means the failure is the thread holding the pieces together, not the fabric itself...It's a bit tedious to fix, since I'm trying to use existing holes rather than introduce new points of weakness. And I'm doing each seam as two lines of alternate running stitches, so if the threads break on one line, the other will hopefully hold it together enough for me to fix it more easily next time. I got through both lines of the joining seam and one line of the edge-tape seam before I ran out of time (and patience) today. Should go a lot quicker tomorrow since the edges and tape are already lined up, so it'll just be a simple running stitch!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@cannibal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cannibal</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/handsewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handsewing</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarPump fixed. Reseating the leather cup was not enough, it also had leaky valves. The lower one fit into the drill chuck, so it was easy to lap.For the upper one I had to get creative! See alt text for explanation.Still didn't pump though. Troubleshooting eventually revealed the problem, the piston valve kept leaking due to wear around the center hole. Fixed by adding a washer and o-ring.It pumps!

Devlin Leathercraft<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@thejikz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thejikz</a> I was thinking about you when working in my studio today. If you're interested in leathercrafting, you should approach it without fear. Every mistake you make, teaches you about the material & process. If you see a good bargain on good leather, buy it, even if it's not something you like. Work with it. Keep going.
