[V8] The Bentley V8 microfiche

[Coleman, David]

I just replaced my voltage reg (w/ alt still on the car), and when it went bad a day later I removed the alt and found it had a bad winding. At this point I must admit baby duty (dootie?) called and my mechanic friend took over and did the removal. Took him all of 15 minutes. 

Put a rebuilt in the next day and I'm off and running. Point is, just put 'er up on ramps, throw a blanket under there and just get to it. Trickiest part IMO is realizing how simple the serp belt tensioner is to work.

I took a break earlier today to reinstall my Bentley V8 CD and poke around in the files; looks like the Bentley folks must have had some problems with people buying their software, then bootlegging it...the content is stored in some proprietary format that I can't sort out, and won't spend too much time on. After all, while I'm not that impressed with the quality of that particular Bentley product, the $100 I paid to get what they make available was a worthwhile investment. They've got a new version of the eBahn reader available for a $20 upgrade, so maybe the application itself has improved.

Besides, the time I'd spend goofing around with their files, I should really spend...say...figuring out how to replace the alternator and/or voltage regulator in V8 #1. It looks so sad just sitting under the carport unable to move.
