Here we are pulling the guys leg while he's trying to light off the boiler in the old girl.
I'm going back to chanting the Good Karma Mantra, and a fresh cup of tea.

Thanks for the karma…

Quick update today
I put the battery on 10 amp charge overnight

In the morning, a 2 second shot of ether , tried the key. Sure enough, it was the unchipped one. Idiot!

Chipped key, and she sprang to life on second crank. Chugs chugga chugga running in 3-4 cylibers.

Pulled plug 2, plug looked like had been dropped, regapped it

Popped a cam flank angle code so don’t have cam timing set right yet, probably a tooth off. Cam flank reported at 12 degrees. Thread here

Got her nice and warmed up, then loaded in Volvo coolant. Temperature dropping to 28F at night.

Freeze warnings down here,too; naturally a couple units in the fleet in DE are questionable, and I'm stuck in DC. With a little luck the river should moderate temps until I can get across the Bay.
Glad you finally got to burn off the assembly oil; sounds like you just have a few system tweeks, then many more miles of motoring pleasure.

Well crap, that was 10 months to get a head job and a power steering rack.

My thanks to E Showell for selling me his gorgeous and well maintained NauticBlue V70 asa bridging car, which let me finish my summer construction projects, and is now serving as Caitlin’s car in Mass.

Queen Elizabeth has risen again and will roll registered and insured in December

Long live the Queen!

+ 1 on that!! Long time coming, but then you have been rather busy with other stuff!

Hopefully just a few minor tweaks and the 'Queen' will be as good as new and ready for a lot more service to the minions!

So are you now just down to one long time ornament on the driveway? Or has the AWD S70 been moved on already?

Neil.

Congrats. Given the number of hits on the thread the Tribal encouragement coming through the interweb vapors must have helped.
You had a couple of distractions - remoting all the women in your life comes to mind - so persistence prevailed in the end.

I’ve been tinkering with Ekaterina and just have to connect her fuel lines before lighting her up again. She might be the bridging car while I do a valve job on Shaggkira

Oooof. 28F / -2C this morning. Cold day to sort out the last few bits to get her rolling but the Queen beckons..

I am surprised by how moderate your temperatures are in Albany. We had 27F here in southern Oklahoma a couple days ago.
It does warm up here during the days.
