So let me give a brief update on the injectors: they're cashed. Two of them hold vaccum reasonably well, but still fail to hold it well enough over a minute to meet the spec in the book. the other two are absolutely hopeless - I think they must have injested some of the melted oil squirter lines.

This is after cleaning them for HOURS in a little ultrasonic cleaner thingy, soaking them in purple power, carb spraying in through every hole.... they just can't be saved. I'll see if I can cut one open to get a better look at the internal mechanism.

July 3 is the tentative date for the engine reassembly. taking a day off, a few friends are gonna come over, it should be a good time. There will be a designated photographer since everybody elses hands will be covered in vaseline and assembly lube

I've finally watched enough youtube videos that I feel reasonably confident in my ability to do this. Not going to lie, I've definitely been kinda scared of it for the last 2 weeks

@Zshoulders Vaseline? What are you and your friends doing there? J/K :)

You use vaseline to hold all the rotor bits together when you are assembling it. Since they are all sping loaded, they tend to pop out during assembly if you don't get them nice and sticky. Every rotory engine assembly video in the world uses this as an oppurtunity for copious amounts of vaseline jokes

Also shout out to another great video provided by Paulster and Zaid.

@Zshoulders Sorry, I just had to do it
