Re: niko's 61 microbus
New motor ? Shouldn't be driving at all till cam has been run in as the lifters and cam lobes will get chewed out ..unless old cam ..normal 3 x 5 min sessions reving between 2200-3000 from very first start up
Straight axle is better than IRS

Re: niko's 61 microbus
That's pretty much what we did, start run keeping it around 2200 to 3 around the block then switch off. Stan gave me a detailed run in procedure to follow.FrankenCab wrote:New motor ?

Re: niko's 61 microbus
Next is getting the engineering passed, wish me luck
Air ride is pretty dam good not too firm at all and I still need to play around with pressures.
My biggest problem is I'm too dam tall for these things (lol)

Re: niko's 61 microbus
yeh its a well done head liner, I did the doorcards and other trim as I had the time.
The shifter has the push button lock out for reverse which is all I need.
