Title: No, I'm not dead yet (bus update)
Post by: belfert on July 03, 2011, 02:23:44 PM
I decided to take about a week off the board after one of my computers lost Internet access early last week.

I've got most of the oil leaks on my bus fixed now.  I'm slowly getting the engine back together.  The water pump had a large tear in the seal ring that was the cause of that oil leak.  I'm still working on the oil cooler.

I did manage to dump a few quarts of TranSynd on the ground this morning when draining my transmission.  The bucket I had wasn't really 5 gallons like I thought it was.  Not a big deal, except it is a mess to crawl under the bus now.  The transmission had to be drained to replace a cooler hose.  It was due for a fluid and filter change anyhow.

Hey belfert,  What kind and model is your bus? Mileage and power?

I have a 1995 Dina Viaggio 1000 with Series 60 engine and B500 transmission.  It gets around 8 MPG.
