<< Rotating parts are back from the balancer.
Engine should go together on Friday at Mazdatrix.
I think Jay Leno's engine got priority :)
Here too is a picture of Chuck Dunlap holding the slide throttle at
Sun & Fun.

How did the balancer establish how much oil the rotors hold?
I note the small bug screen on the pickup that the Mystere had trouble with.

I have no idea Lynn. He has been doing it for years. Must be pretty good
as Dave Lemon qualified second in the SCCA National runoffs in E production
using engines balanced by this guy.
BTW the dyno blew up the other day
at 11,000 RPM. Parts went right through the bell housings.
A metric bolt worked loose holding the BMW rubber coupling.
Its been vibrating slightly for the last month. Should have known something
was wrong. Future bolt heads will be drilled and safety wired :)
Hopefully it will be repaired by next week when it comes time to dyno
the P-port engine.
