The engines are built and just recently Marlo and Les have discussed dyno time for them. They were developed for the Treit and
Davenport lakester. The lakester was the "mule" for refining equipment for the 'liner. In my opinion, the drives are totally reliable. The
belt system was severely tested on the lakester. Several parameters were established that gave a realistic guide as to the capability of
the belts. I am trying to imagine what the dyno adapter would look like to test the drive as it is in the 'liner and I will just wait to see how
Les answers that situation. Dyno testing will be in Calgary, Canada, but I will be there when it's conducted, if my Witness Protection
Officer will allow me to travel.
I spoke with Marlo tonight and he is ecstatic over the new front end that was delivered to him yesterday, after a prolonged time. Add to
the time for building the parts, a screw up in the delivery by the freight company, and you may feel his frustration. All's well that ends
well.
Compare it to a brides wedding dress being lost at the cleaners.
Several things may keep me from posting fotos of the assembly for a couple weeks. A soon as I can, I will.
Tom, thanks for asking.
