Cascade Crew

Is hitting the portland crew as normal. I over heated on the way to Paul's today, and left a nice puddle of coolant in his driveway (sorry Dude!).

I think most of us are still working on getting our junk to cows. Mike isn't working on anything though, that might be a bad sign.

Ahh, if only the curse was just limited to Dyno weekend...

I'm gonna be cutting it close, but I think between a few of us dedicated crewbies, we can get Paul, John and Myself up there in one piece.

Its just another adventure and story to tell later on.... Very Happy

It's going to make the beverages that much more enjoyable.

Ok, well newest issue, while coming down a hill today on my way home from work, when I hit the brakes at 60-70mph, the front end starts hopping and shaking, it was shaking the steering wheel, and the cowl was shaking pretty bad.

Not sure what this is. Brandon, any ideas. Paul and I are going to look at the steering parts, to see if we can find any slop in the tie rods or idler arm. Could it just be crusty old brakes/rotors if only one side did that, would it cause the wheel to shake like that?

Ohh, and I need a new coolant temp sensor, but of course that is easy.

My brakes are acting similarly. Only when I brake hard, then the steering wheel shakes back and forth quite hard sometimes. Last time it did this I thought one of the wheel bearings was a bit loose, took them apart, re greased them and put them back together and all seemed well. Only just recently it's started up again. Maybe time for a brake rebuild and having the rotors turned.

I have to replace my oil pan and timing cover.

Chain broke while I picked the motor up and dumped it nose first on the ground.

Then my motor hoist decided to lose all its pressure, so I couldn't pick it back up....and I lost the fill screw for it...
