    MEP-803A Finally scored one and had a question.

    Diesel Addict I was referring to the Delvac 1300 diesel 15W40 oil that I use in my 6.2 and other diesel toys. I use Mobil 1 synthetic in my gassers.

    MEP-803A Finally scored one and had a question.

    I use the Mobil Delvac 1300 in my diesel toys and my gassers get Mobil 1 syn stuff. I was just wondering if Delvac by Mobil was acceptable or since the engine seems to run at one speed there would be a better oil for a seemingly constant rpm engine.

    Great story Guyfang I was all excited because I had built a loadbank out of a 35 gallon empty lithium bromide container and 3 water heater elements and I had run this at approx 11,000 for a good run and was all happy I didnt have chunks of carbon blowing out. The smoke cleared up at 15 to 30...

    Too funny Kloppk That is exactly what I had done with a piece of steel rod. In my younger days I would have used a 1/2" bolt.

    Thanks for the reply I will check tomorrow after work. I have it rigged(value engineered) for now. Next time I flush coolant system I will RR part with new one. I noticed the glycol seemed very thick like it was straight ethylene glycol and not a mix of water and antifreeze. I added about a...

    MEP-803A Finally scored one and had a question.

    Thanks Kloppk After letting it sit for a day sure enough and wiping everything spotless. There was a big drool puddle from the cap on the unused port of the water pump. This time I actually watched a couple of drips. I never saw a drip yesterday. This is why I got nervous with the fan flinging...

    MEP-803A Finally scored one and had a question.

    Thanks kloppk. I was suspecting the rubber cap but the amount of coolant in the bottom had me suspecting something bigger. Like I had mentioned I had looked for a couple of hours but saw no evidence of any fittings drooling. I will check tomorrow after work and report back. I would have started...

    MEP-803A Finally scored one and had a question.
