Progress has been made...

 Fortunately, I have been (slightly) better about making progress on Ella's engine than I have been about documenting that progress.

The engine is mostly sealed up and off the engine stand.  


The rear main seal has been replaced (3D printed RMS alignment tool shown).



And the flywheel (below) + pressure plate are installed.


Unfortunately, I'm now stuck waiting on parts for the shift fork that I didn't know should be replaced until I got into the job.

Whoa Neglected Projected (post formerly titled "Wrenching Time!")

My family headed out of town for a week in March of 2018, and I got a lot of time to work on personal projects.  Ella got a big chunk of that time. I didn't even get around to posting about the work completed that March, but at least I made the quick notes below.

SAI Pump rewire

I replaced the wire insulation on the SAI Pump.  Working originally completed 03/2018, but I never got around to posting it.

I chose to replace the insulation rather than re-wire because I didn't have the tools or parts to replace the wires.
