Wonder what that would cost to have fixed? I'll bet it's more than that pressure gauge even.

It was mic'd. I put it together. All new bearings, the studs, torque sequence etc. Why? I know the bearing oil holes are right.

So, back to question 2, is the radio I found a fair deal? Will it do what all I'll need without my needing to replace it in a year? I know nadda about this. No clue what the different frequencies mean. No clue about transmitting powers etc.

Oh, ordered an IH tractor screw in oil pressure gauge. I'll put it in the OEM spot, where I have a npt manifold for the gauges, light, etc. 0-45 psi range, that and having the IH logo are why I like it. No light opening either.

Thanks! Good to know spare blocks are near. Monday it goes to a good diesel mechanic. Due for the timing to be set. I'll ask him to do an oil pressure check. Hoping he can stop my braided stainless oil cooler lines from dripping and get one last oil pan bolt in. Had the pan off and the...

Took it to a machine shop. Even the bearings looked ok. Not perfect, but not bad.

When I put the bearings in the bottom end, I pulled the crank and had it checked. I also pulled the heads and the cylinders looked good. Valves were clean and looked right also. I'm wondering what other clearance issue would drop the pressure? Btw, I'm hoping for crap gauges. The electric is...

The oil is full and fresh. Lift pump is electric. The oil pump is fresh too. It has to be in the engine.

I have what may be low oil pressure. My gauge reads low, 30 psi cold, right near 0 warm, at idle. I say might because the gauge is electric and unproven. I put in an old mechanical gauge I had and it reads even lower, but it old, crusty and a cheapo besides. This is the engine that lost its...

A Christmas unit is whatever I typed, corrected by Android...

Here is what the seller said: "the radio is a Cobra 148 GTL all tuned up 10 watts am 20 watts SSB with the extra channels that cover 10 11 and 12 meter " It is used.

I found a cobra 148 with 200 channels, locally for $125.00 and a marine antenna with it for $20 more. Is that fair?

Put in the Walbro pump and dropped the driver's tank to clean the sock. All fresh fuel and she runs! I didn't find any algea, just some rust and a stiff fuel sock. Blasted it out with brake cleaner. I pumped both tanks and then added the fresh stuff. I mixed in 5 gallons of the old fuel and...

It would be strictly cb radio. I don't foresee a ham radio license any time soon.

I figure this is good place to ask, as you all have a strong knowledge base and some professional experience. What's a good Christmas unit that will work well and not need upgrading later?

There is modification to the spring on it as well. Basically you make the spring a little longer by straightening the end and bending it a little further out.

The Mr Gasket pumps are flow through. My tanks would have siphoned dry through one today when I unhooked the hose from it. My fuel psi dropped one or two psi with just the old electric OEM pump up in the engine bay. I am suspecting bad fuel as an issue with it now. One tank ran dry, the other...

The column shifter just slops around when not connected. Sticker away... Just be careful, the red pointers are 30 years old and brittle.

The two napa / wix filter bases are in and a 10 micron with water drain and 2 micron cat filter installed. Pressure gauges plumbed before and after them, and an electric one for real time monitoring Base number 24770 10 mic filter LFF8030 2 mic filter LFF3347 Catapiller number 0750 or 0749...

I don't have a part number. They are the older solenoid type with two in and one outlet. One wire connection. When they have power they switch to the secondary tank. I used two. One for feed, one for return. I'm starting to doubt a bad algea issue. The filter bowls were clean. It's just...
