The Quarky Engineer

I know… more car pictures…. It’s car picture Friday.. somewhere..

JDM.. errrr.. J…

Giving some oldies a little clean up. See Myles, Integra is alive!

Hard to believe the Subaru is 20 years old, and the Integra is 27 years old. Of course that just means I’m old too. 😉

A little garage cleanup is always rewarding.

A stop at the Monterey Bay Aquarium is always a good stop, and it is one of Audrey’s favorite places.

Engine dropped in.. time to start hooking stuff up and getting this broken in.

I always feel a little nervous when the engine is at the highest point on the lifter being rolled over the front cross bar. Lots of potential and expensive energy there.

I took a few cool pictures while flying over Crater Lake today heading down to Pebble Beach.

I dropped my trusty Harris-Dracon D-814 Impact tool. ;(

For those in the know, this was a classic punchdown from the 90s. Harris-Dracon made lots of telephone line tools, and in 2004 they were purchased by Fluke. Fluke still sells a very similar tool ( D-914 now).

I suppose it had a good life punching down things in every company and house I have built.

It is a good sign when a pallet shows up from Russia. I figure the Russians have more experience when it comes to cold weather camping than I do.

It is a Russian Bear UP-5 tent with wood stove. I don’t like being cold.

Got some fancy engine mounts for the fancy engine. This is the first time they have been used on a billet block, so I had to clearance them a tad due to some of the extra thickness of the billet block compared to factory.

Thanks to Jeff for the sweet mounts!
