<snip>24lb to 14lb so he was pretty happy....<snip>

He'll probably be even happier when he sees the net effect on acceleration. The rotational moment of inertia is reduced by considerably more than the ratio of the before-and-after weights, since most (all?) of the removed material was on the outside of the flywheel. I've done this in the past and seen 2+ second reductions in 0-60 time. (Hmmm...when I do the clutch on my 330i...hmmm....)

He was really happy.

Its been a while. I never heard back from my HCAV guy but the guy I helped with the bmw flywheel had and hvac pump and gauge set he lent me and the heat pump is running and the shop is warm. Its supposed to be alexa compatible but that tuned out to be worthless because it needs to on the house wifi if I want to control it from the house but the signal isn't strong on....it work when the shop door is open.

I had Ducati stuff but he's back to school and I used the leaf blower to de-fiberglass dust the shop. Then a nasty stomach bug killed last weekend. Tonight I did a little work. First is set the mill head to the valve angle


use a gauge pin to find the center


cut the holes for the new seats


Tomorrow I'll repeat for the exhaust and hopefully get the seats installed.

Get something like this https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/wif ... ts/udb-pro to sort the connection.

I'm not smart enough to even know what that is

Something like this maybe

My provided sells something similar for way more money

I currently have a netgear through the electric wires network in the shop but that's its own network ID so no-go for this application

No way to get a network cable from the house/router to the shop to plug in an access point? Would be the best solution….

This is my suggestion. With the size of the house, it would be worth putting access points on each floor, too. Way better and more stable WiFi than screwing around with repeaters and range extenders.

There's always a way. Network is low voltage so 6" underground is all that's needed I think and the main router in the basement is about 12ft from the shop, so yeah, I could run a hardline in the spring if the wifi extender thing I ordered an hour ago doesn't do the trick....I don't need a good high speed signal, just enough so it connects and I can stream music and make forum posts of course Funny thing is for whatever reason its working right now....it almost has enough signal as-is. I was a bit annoyed at how cold it was in the shop when I went out....the celling is nice and warm but the rest of the shop not so much....auto fan apparently doesn't move enough air to mix it up enough. I had the same issue with the window AC unit, fan on high was required.

Snow delay but I got the exhaust seat pockets cut then as always, heads on the barbie



Seats and driver in the freezer the in they go like butter


hopefully I'll get the seat recut and ports cleaned up tomorrow then onto the valves.

Put in a mesh network. You won't regret it. I got the DECO 6E from Costco. Came with 3 stations. I have one in my office hooked to the Verizon router and one upstairs in a guest bedroom near the window closest to my detached garage and one in the garage itself. Perfect wifi internet anywhere in the house or anywhere on the property or garage. Mesh is much better than a wifi extender because it works as one network vs the extender where your device has sees treats the extender as a separate network even if it shares the same SSID. Best $250 you will spend and super easy setup. No hardwired connections to deal with.

The one in my office is connected to my FIOS router and the other two are wireless and the great part is they have network ports on them as well so you can hardwire devices to the mesh nodes if you want. You can also add more nodes if you need more than 3. In my case the one in my office takes care of the main level and basement, the one upstairs in the corner nearest the detached garage gives me line of sight to the one in the garage and also gives me wifi anywhere on my 1 acre property.

I'm pretty sure I have a wifi6 mesh network already. The main router is in the basement and an extender in the study. They sell more, but they are $250 each from verizon. The item I ordered I'm pretty sure adds a note to the mesh, at least that's what it says....It was supposed to be here Sunday but still isn't, I guess the weather but I'm see when it arrives. My shop problem is that my house and shop are stucco, which means expanded metal mesh in the exterior walls. I get a decent signal near the window in the doors and also up in the attic so I think I just need to put the new node thing in the attic.

The head is repairs and about as good as new


I cut the new exhaust valves to the correct OD

A couple years ago I made an oil pan for a buddy and he's since acquired a valve grinder and he offered to grind them to the correct thickness so those will ship tomorrow. I'll work on sealing the intake ports and getting the intake valves cut to length in the mean time.

Not really related to anything but I realized the ECU has a "min_input" function that selects the lowest value front the inputs assigned to it.....which means it can replace my multiMAP that had been giving me trouble since I soaked it in coolant. Amazon has $10 or $14 MAP sensors that come with a connector so I'm kind of pondering setting that up.
