    Main shaft removal - output bearing

    Mine was pretty loose. When it was that far out I was able to “shake”/pull my main shaft back and it slide the rest of the way out, again it was a loose fit for mine

    New to me Deuce with matching trailer - wrenching post

    All I can point out is that my truck usually idles around 270* when first started. When I come home after a drive it’s usually 340* coming down the driveway at a few MPH’s. I then let idle to under 300* to cool down before I shut down. I run a custom mix of wmo and I know for sure it raises...

    M35A2 has been sitting for 40+ years…

    I offered half that for my first one; it had been sitting for some years also. He accepted, and I already have about twice that into it and haven’t even touched half of it

    Pyrometer install

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    I use a degreaser as the final wipe down anyways, and that has always done the trick. I’m sure you know, but plenty of assembly lube for the final install! As for lube, I like the red “ultra slick”

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    Please don’t say head gasket…

    I checked the torque after making a tool; all seemed to be good there. It seems to still seep some oil from the back area. Coolant is not dropping, and the power still seems to be there. I have everything ready to check compression; so maybe some day I’ll get around to that; as a just in case
