RE: Re: RE: Moving on... Ok now gears are turning.....I could plumb the flame ignition system into my exhaust stack....and have a flaming stack....I like that idea....he he he he

I have noticed/been told that OD Iron has complete gasket sets for around $270. If I was going to have to pay $100 each for the head gaskets I would just as soon get the whole gasket set for $70 more. I am pretty sure they are the newer style gaskets with the rubber imbedded around the galley...

Re: RE: Moving on... I am not really sure about that one...I don't have alot of experience with the continental engines...I am going to coat my gaskets with permatex copper head gasket spray to help out. Other than that pray for a good hand, and follow the torque specs :D

First off, from what I gather...If there is not any leakage detected and the valve seat inserts are not cracked the heads are considered serviceable. If I were using this rig for serious work, I would replace the heads. I have different plug set ups from over the years of doing this, so I was...

RE: Moving on... O.K. must need some schooling.....I was under the impression that the components between the intake and valve covers had something to do with the fuel density compensation system for different fuels. I know there is a way to bypass on the pump as well for diesel only. I had a...

RE: Moving on... Oh, yea...One more thing before I go back to it....I am not replacing the multifuel(gasoline)components as I only run diesel, so if there is an interest out there let me know...

RE: Moving on... Also would like to note that as expected the heads are cracked between valve seats. Valve seats are fine though. Pressure tested fine, not leaking from cooling jacket, or oil passages.

Moving on... More pictures. I just wanted to add that I would have had both heads off by last night if I didn't have to make a special wrench for the short head nuts on the driver side. I'd like to get ahold of the engineer who thought that one up... :evil:

Well, here we go. Time to get dirty. Head gaskets were slobbering real bad between heads. Probably close to 1/2 gallon a minute. Gonna see if we can't remedy that with a new set of gaskets. I would like to mention the fact that FreightTrain donated the gaskets to the cause. I could not find...

Do the folks who work for GL get employee dicounts or any fringe bennies...I don't think I could handle working for them. Anyone know that weird cool feeling you get when you find a junkyard with a bunch of cool stuff in it? Imagine having to work there and have to see all that stuff go away all...

What is deemed a fair price for a tow-bar nowadays??

Makes me want to cry. My favorite looking deuces are the Jimmy's from WWII. I have always wanted to get one and upgrade cab interior and put on a newer deuce frame...WAY COOL...I like those 'ol Power Wagons as well...Damn shame...Just like seein' the 'ol news clips after the war where they are...

Let me know how the trip went... You can find old WWII-Vietnam era deuces, and other types of vehicles all over the Pacific Northwest on all the farms and in logging towns. Unfortunately they have all been sitting for a long time with weird mods and alot have been scrapped. I have a friend that...

Great pick on the 715 Ks! Time for a big block and 52's!...LOL Awesome collection Wolf! Can't wait to get my hobby room all set up!

I had listed on another thread that I have some spare engines(GMC 302 I6) and a transfer case left over from the two I had. I had a fella in Denmark or somewhere thereabouts wanted them real bad but shipping was going to be almost as much as we agreed on selling price. I was askin' a grand for...

I am starting to wonder if I should do this to my M51....Great job...Absolutely a professional job. Respect...COOP

Hey was just wondering if anyone was dead-heading that-a- way so I could get my bridge truck home for a fair price :roll: . I know...I know...Probably end up having to hitch down there and drive it home...Just wishful thinking...

I got a funny story about one of these...One of our Motor T troopies was launching a RAC for us and the brake didn't set(as he says) and it rolled back in the drink all the way up to the hood ornament...They dried 'er out and she ran as before...I love Green Iron! LOL

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Suicide Budds? Yea...Gettin' harder an harder to get fellas to work on split rims. Have to agree with the Les Schwabb statement earlier...We have no problem around here gettin splits worked on, but I imagine our time is coming. Not hard to do on your own...depends on how...

Awesome job fellas... Looking forward to fini pix...
