Hiya Mr. Walker!

Three days on and it is about the same at both our locales. Cloudy and a little below 40° F on your happy Sundae evening!

Yeah, sorry. For some reason I was picturing the B63xx using two timing belts like the B234 does. No counterbalance shaft on B63xx engines. Oooop! D'oh!

*****

Any issue with the harmonic balancer crank pulley on B6304? It has a rubber bushing like on B2xx yes? Is that a wear item you replace?

I'd always been taken with the 1997-1998 S and V 90 with the OHC whiteblock I-6. Sort of a two finger gesture at BMW and Mercedes a bit with their luxury and performance inline six engine offerings.

Though for all that the RWD S and V 90, I'd like the manual transmission they came with in the owld country across the 'pond' as with an engine like that, I'd rather take it through the shift gates. Though I'd still drive it like an elderly person. The road are so bad here, you really can't go much faster than the speed limits or as traffic flows. So many people texting while driving here. Even at night you see the mobile device light up the driver's face on the highway. It's awful!

I miss the Pacific Northwest of the mighty I-90. Smooth road surface, well marked, wide lanes and shoulder's. Also, Wyoming has red highways and it is lovely to drive through like Montana.

Love to have a six cylinder. Still want a 1972 164 with M410. Or, maybe find a well beloved S or V 90 and swap in the M90L or better? Or weld the third gear synchro and swap it in?

So, we hope for a 164 someday.

Happy warming days. The dog awful five months of excess heat and unending humidity and pollution will be here. Oh, the pollution is awful here.

Happy Sundae,

The can label has "Yams" printed on it. The ingredients indicate sweet potatoes.
