Never SEEN that before, but I think I heard of a place called Heads Excellsweld, a VERY long time ago, doing that. If it was running with that, F- it, run it again. Again, gotta mention pitting, I6 don't look good, but see above post.

Again, HEADS have nothing on them. They are flat. IF there is a mark that you can feel, the head is in need of exchange/machining. The pic above indicates water in the combustion chamber. See the little pits that go up to the seats? If they were just pocked around the face and not at the seats...

That could be an issue too, easy to tell if it aint working. Again, SIMPLE things first BEFORE you start tearing into the engine.

@Floridianson, you no likie meat loaf??!! I have never seen that in your sig until now!

Why not start with easy stuff, he said black smoke, yup, could be an injector, but, if it were mine, black smoke, no power, i'd be looking at intake issues. If it has a paper filter or a critter got in the clean side, coulda sucked the nest or paper into the turbo. Easy to pull a filter housing...

You REALLY want bullet proof? Have them foam filled. You will never have tire issues until you need to change them, then they need to be put on a lathe and the tire/foam machined off. Don't know if it is available for on road aps though.

2 #10 swivels, a #10 union and 24 inches of i/2 in id clear hose. If they don't have hose that the reusable fittings will work on, the push on swivels work fine. Keep in mind this one is 25 or so years old.

Yes, thimble is the name for the device holding the inner wheel to the hub.

IIRC, there was a pop up when one of the integrations took place that you had to read before it would let you into the site weather you were a new or old member, but, it was a click thing, easy to just point, click and move along. That's where the moderators come in, and why there as many as...

No I get it, hence the word "should", sometimes one off things happen, they are mechanical of course, and if something came into the shop with this complaint, and had a leak there, the first thing I would do was to address the leak. If it fixed the symptom, awesome, a quick easy fix with minimal...

That is gear pump return. Should have zero effect on running, only a leak. Flow only, no pressure there and return to the tank. It does sound like air. Install a looped clear line at the pump inlet and look for bubbles coming from the chassis.

Says it is e-Glycol based and compatible with ANY conventional coolant. I would say it is good to go with a green or blue coolant, POSSIBLY the Dexcool, Cat ELC, etc stuff. Easy way to tell is to mix this and a regular coolant and boil it. If it gels no good. If it turns dark but no thickening, GTG.

No, you WANT low silicate. If you use coolant that is not low silicate, you get silicate drop out which makes water pump seals leak and causes mud in the system and can plug a radiator. Try and avoid red, orange, pink ELC. The rubber components in the old engines, including liner o-rings, do...

I have no idea.

The header that has the SS logo, on the rt side in the box with your name in it. Hit the envelope and the conversations will pop up. There is a tab on the bottom of that drop down that says "show all". If you don't see it, don't know where it is. I think, if you go to your ad and they replied to...

Head gaskets won't put oil in the coolant. At idle and cold, the oil pressure is WAY higher than coolant/block pressure. Is the overflow tank above the exhaust? My best bet, without being there is a failed oil cooler bundle or just the o-rings considering how bad the cooling system looked before.

Shouldn't mix stud and bolt rods, they are different weights. Pistons are a PP, or performance part and are CPL specific. Incorrect pistons for the other PPs that are called out in the CPL can result in a smoke machine. Other PPs are cam and key....the base engine timing is set with a key that...

I've seen a bunch of threads about lubing these pigs, I have a LO and was gonna scan it and put up, but, there is one buried in the Deuce TM section. It isn't titled LO, it is on page 2 near the bottom under "Deuce TMs". I will put a link here and sticky it for ease of reference...
