Well on a serius note the day has washed out for the test of the new coils as the experimental brazing of the coil tubes to the manifold failed almost as soon as they fired the engine up for the test run.
Learning from this experiance although the braze is in specification it was under a lot of stress from a liquid propane input on one side down to -25 to the other side that has superheated propane gas at 1200c.
to much and it faild but to weld the tubes in to the manifold they need to cut the manifold in half and weld the tubes internally as there is not enough room to get the torch in between the tubes to do it on the outside.
So we will have to wait for the canadian morning to do that and set it up on the test stand again, Patrick who is doing the welding and assembly, he would be classed as a coded welder in the UK so there is no problem with the standard of his welding:-) at all!

Another Day
Good morning Luc and Patrick
In an interview, someone ask Thomas Edison about the frustrations of failing thousands of times while trying to invent the light bulb. His answer was something like, I did not fail, I just kept proving that there was another way that did not work and then kept going. Well today is a new day. It was good to record another thing for others not to try.
Hide the coffee pot if you are going to be welding that 0.20 wall tubing today. Steady hands and peaceful thoughts are in order. Good luck guys.

Hello all:
OK, if yesterday’s posts are examples what happens when you don't drink coffee, maybe it is time to go back on the good stuff for a while.
Seriously, I am just curious about the good, the bad and the ugly of the day's events. I will check in later today.

Luc,
I count three missing: Mike's very interesting quote of Andrew, Viv's, and Yours, all dated Mar 24, I believe. I also see numerous posts missing from other forums. I was hoping to explore some of the thoughts raised in the Andrew quote, but without the original, it is difficult
Regards,
Raymond

Kenneth explained in the "improvements" forum that there was a server breakdown and some posts were lost, unfortunately all but the first of "Rocket Bob's" were erased, as well as Mike's quote of him.
Again, I cannot stress enough that the archives are the heart of the discussion and online forums only have one archive and it is not read only. A member can edit or delete any of their posts, and Kenneth can edit or erase all of them, as can the server administrator. Where are the archives from the old forum format? Lost forever? A mailing list is far more stable in that sense.

Okeyyy,
I told you Viv, that some postings were missing ... Now, do you beleive me.
Now, since I am very busy, lately, can someone do a back-up of this forum and convert this in a PDF file and make it available for the ones interested?
If I guet some free time I will do it ... But I can't for now.
If one day, this server crash and crash for good ... All will be lost.
Thanks and regards,
Luc
