With Wings As Eagles: Craig P. Steffen's Blog

so on top of things, no time to brag

I've been getting good enough at getting things done in the last month that I haven't had time to blog about how well things are going! :-) Sorry about that; I'll try to do better.

The beetle short version: - I have a valve that's stretching/sinking (prelude to breaking off) - It could have been because of the carb, or perhaps a leak in the intake mainfold - I put in a different, newly re-built carb and set the timing right - Now the car runs right, for the first time since I've owned it. - I've set the valves again, and now we wait to see if the valve is still deteriorating

So I get to drive it to flying lessons a few times. Whee!

But now it's developing a wheel noise, so I need to sort that out.
