i am looking for in 100-125 miles of columbus,cambridge, canton, ohio. a sand rail, manx or baja bug,that runs or needs work, disasembled basket case.i can...
Time for a little report. Not that you guys can't look this stuff up. Since we started, we have gathered 536 memberships. I always figure for about 20 of us...
Thank you Clay..what a wonderful bunch of folks..i have noticed on my time here(lurking) that the members here are very helpful and quick to jump in with...
San Antonio? Isnt that where Pace is from? ...from folks who know what picante sauce should taste like? ... Clay, thanks for being there to keep this mailing...
... what picante sauce should taste like? Not anymore. Ironically, I believe it was purchased by a company from... yep... you guessed it... New York City! ...
Hello to all you Bajabug nuts like me! I just joind this group to see what other Bajabug fans were doing with their bugs and to their bugs. My resolution is to...
Good plans. Mine: Lose 30 lbs Finish the baja (well, at least get it usable, skip paint for now) Develope the relationship my girlfriend and I have Go to a...
Haha! Erik, that was funny! I also hope to get my baja on the road....soon. Since I don't have a bender, I need to go to the fab shop and have them finish...
Hi Peter, It would have to be the same, right? Since the other pistons are pulling/ pushing the dead piston up to TDC... ... I am a 62 year old former drag...
Is he assuming a wrist pin offset or bore centerlines non co-planar with the crank journal centerline? Is he assuming rod stretch? Is he assuming normal...
None of these factors (pin offset, rod stretch, etc.) matters if the two pistons are affected equally, so let's not confuse the issue. Better yet, let's just...
The mathematician's argument, as stated, only addressed one piston & cylinder but left out a bunch of information. How exactly did he arrive at that...
The mathematican arrived at his conclusion using the "laws of cosines" of triangles where one side is the radius of the circle formed by the movement of one...
If they are connected to the same crank (and not assuming different journal wear) then their velocity would be the same. Otherwise you would have a very rough...
Hi Jeff I uploaded a drawing to the photo section to help explain. The mathematician says that the crank cannot be rotated 360 degrees when connected in this...
I found a graph at http://www.miata.net/garage/KnowYourCar/S11_Piston.html which shows the maximum piston velocity is around 74 degrees ATDC. The other piston...
No, it's sort of like a driveshaft with 2 Cardan U-joints in it. One side, at any given time is accelerating while the other is slowing down. I haven't wrapped...
ts This is not an easy one to get your head around. It might help to keep in mind that the velocity of the piston at any r.p.m. is zero at TDC and BDC. The...
That it works that way isn't a problem. I need to know why the greatest accel's & speeds happen where they do. I think I've hit it though. Given that rod...
Hello all, As per one of my new year's resolutions, I'd like to move forward on my baja. My roomate seeing an opportunity to get me motivated again, bought me...
... Thanks Erik Vancouver, WA >>> Hi Erik, One thing to consider is the amount of fluid that will be displaced, so if it is capable of pumping 4 slaves a T and...
... getting a little off the original question, it was not how fast the piston moves based on its position in the cyl, it was weather it was moving faster on...

The reason for the different piston speeds when the two rods are on the same journal is that they are at different angles relative to the crank throw in all...
Hello list, I have my stock 1973 beetle. I want to put a more aggresive tire on it for off roading. I want to use the stock wheels(5.5wide), and since the...
... I have used the BFGoodrich LT215/75R15/C. They are sggresive enough for almost any off-road application and great on the street. Not alot of tire noise....
Stock rims are actually 4.5 inches wide (you measure between the bead). I have fit the following on a stock bug with stock wheels... 195 60 r 15 (tight) 195 65...
Has anyone out there tried swapping a motor from a Rabbit or Jetta on to the back of a Bajabug? How about a diesel motor? A person would have to have a full...
