    Update on the 71 marine/navy truck

    Cattlerepairman, thanks for the advice! When I looked at it, it seemed like the “leak” of fresh diesel was coming from the top of the HH right under the silver “plate” where the lines to the injectors when into the head... but do you think that the leaky HH or fdc or anything here would cause...

    Update on the 71 marine/navy truck

    Yes sir, porkysplace, I have done so. However, my SS-mentor (who isn’t as close as I’d like him to be, but close enough), suggested that as well. He advised to remove tank, drain, take to rad shop and have them do their magic and boil/clean then seal it. However, I decided to do the poor man...
