    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    Right Jim. I'm positive that Ike's group 24s will work fine in the coldest of weather. That's what I have in my 003A, and in past decades I've put 24s to the test a few times in other applications.

    I'd rather ship them to Jerry, who has experience with these particular injectors and is known to do good work than to go to someone local I don't know, and take a chance.

    I don't remember if you already did this, but it sounds like a compression test might be in order. My oil pressure is about at the top of the gauge when cold and drops to around 30-35 when hot, but that depends a lot on just what oil you're using and how long it's been in there. Oil pressure...

    Jim, the behavior of your frequency meter sounds like the way mine behaves when it's way below speed. It's all over the place, and then when I get close to 1800, it does what it's supposed to. No smoke from my dipstick tube.

    I have a feeling there are plenty. I was looking at the 004A manuals today and found a bunch. The worst was a schematic that had transistors with unconnected leads.

    The pistons follow each other, but are one full revolution apart in the cycle. One cylinder fires each 1/2 turn of the engine.

    No problem with the vertical scratches you can't feel. Perfectly normal wear.
