1D Mark II Problem

[scottbergerphoto]

I was having somes problems on my mark II. I took off the back cover and was shocked to find this: http://www.pbase.com/image/31164984
I could have sworn the book said it was fuel injected! Now the exposure problems make sense, especially the reds.

Canon has a double-barrel Holley firmware upgrade coming out next week to cure that. In the meantime you'll just have to limp along.

The Mark II is certainly big enough to hold one of those things.

Manesium isn't supposed to rust. It sure looks like cast steel to me. That could explain the weight of these brutes.

I think that the small crack in the spacer is letting precious photons out before they hit the sensor. Does it hesitate a bit when you click the shutter?

I should have read the specs before I bought it. I hope there's a firmware update to give it fuel injection, headers, and nitrous. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You'll still have a serious data flow issue without crossflow heads.

BTW, that looks suspiciously like a 1980's era GM truck 292 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder engine, back when they went to the 2-barrel carb. Or it could be the Ford 300 cubic inch torque-monster.

Close but no cigar!
That's from my 1988 Jeep Wrangler. It's a 4.2L straight 6, minus it's Carter 2bbl carburetor. I took pictures of the engine as I removed the carburetor so I had a road map in case I had problems installing the rebuilt I bought. It all worked out OK once I bent the wires to adjust the butterfly valve. I did it last year.

Hey Scott, you are making my mouth water, I'm still waiting for MkII to arrive. BTW thanks for reply re Warranty. Yours was the only reply from 104 views. Perhaps people don't take out Ex.Warranty anymore!! :) [F.R]

I looked long and hard trying to find a name on that intake manifold. The only thing close looked like the last 3 letters of "Offenhauser", but I didn't think that was an Offy manifold. I also saw what looked remotely like the front upper control arm mount from a GM 2WD front suspension, but at closer examination, that's not what I saw.

Oh well, at least I recognized some kind of Detroit straight six. All is not lost!
