I do have to say that my son and I are loving this rebuild, not loving the cost of parts, but the investigation of some of our observations, the learning, even the research. We would see something that in my sons words, looking kinda sus, then both gran our phones and start researching. Sometimes we would run an experiment with the parts, accepting we may kill it by the end but that’s a learning in itself.
An example is the PAS, we researched that there is no service kit readily available for refurbishing it, so we have broken it down and found it to be a simple centrifugal pump which is mostly O rings, very serviceable if I can get the right sizes
I currently have the engine completely broken down and bagged, lots of container with new or refurbished parts all over my living room and I love it. Sometimes while sitting and watching TV I pick up a part and start looking at it, then research, clean it (again) and so on
I love it
