Well honestly from being formerly from Northern Mich - which is a territory only known to a few, and Southern folks barely tread.
I use to snipe hunt and was known throughout the territory for the best SOUND SHOOTER around. YUP - hunted them snipes at night time with no laterns. Kinda just...
Excuse me :popcorn:
But if I heard PB correctly when the stop watch was clicked off - he stated engine install took 27 minutes to be ready to fire up :popcorn:.
Indeed she wanted to fire and the timing was nearly correct - and when we let the starter cool for a second from the first attempt...
Don't know nothin about moon stuff - but I am sure we can figure out that concept for an equal agreement. Some people are just not satisfied by cherries - OOOOOOHHH the delima of pleasing everyone.
Cyclejay - my door is always open for those that wish to learn and pay attention. I have over 49 yrs of experience in this field. I am by no means an expert not claim to be. I am willing to help in whatever way I can and I have tools up the waaaaaaaa zoooooooo to get trucks built.
No one and...
All I read about the CUCV is they are a high maintenance vehicle - I guess once you have one repaired as it should be with reliable repair and correctly done they are great vehicles. I do not own one and from what I read nor will I own one - personal choice and nothing against the vehicle...
Carnac - Deb said she will have fresh purculated coffee every morning for you in trade for another antenna for her jeep (might be some fresh campfire cooked bacon in there somewhere also.)
Searching the web there are many yards in the Atlantqa area. Head out 675 off the south end loop and there are acres and acres of vehicles.
Like another member stated - when calling you cannot tell them HEY I have this MILITARY CUCV and I need some parts - most are just plain ole generic parts...
Some day I am going to learn how to do body work but one of the biggest things when you go to Prime and Paint - pay attention to the temperatures and humidity outdoors unless you have a sealed down draft paint booth system to spray in.
There are many array's of paints and chemicals that do not...
OH - you mean when BB was standing in front of my blower fan slowly moving his body from side to side to get cooled off in that greenhouse garage of mine - now that was funny as a hoot. I am going to fix him Monday cause I am brining another fan down - so unless he has an evil twin I have not...
I apologize for the Southern CAMO Crew over stepping our bounds and taking the engine South when she could have been fixed in the Northern CAMO (Zout's AO) coumpound. :oops::oops:
Never have to appologize to me for anything. It was a great reach out on commradre as I saw it.
Those pics are a...
Of course you forgot the one about pulling the plugs and pouring water in the holes, then putting the plugs back in to give it a hydrostatic lock. :smile:
I cannot even think of any enemies I would even have do this to a find piece of MV machinery - I think you are sicker than I am and that is...
AHHHHHH your asking top secret ready to kill info there fella.
But seeing as you started your thread with asking help from ole timers - here is a hint and a clue.
The other end of your engine has a flywheel with TEETH on it - which will also allow a big screw driver to lock in on the teeth...
On the top end you will get a much more pronounced dead rattle sound than say the sound from inside the cover behind the exhaust manifold - I would then look these two area's to start eliminations. Maybe on the rebuild locknuts did not get secured @rockers @tappets.
That is great news - at least the engine builder did what he told me he was going to do. You still have a second one coming from Midwest Military and put this on your shelf down there for any future issues.
Zout will be home Monday breaking down a 43 tire and putting a new tube in it - from...
As WF was referencing to - see if the noise is RPM related to engine rotation or sort of an external thumping sound - there will be a difference.
This should help at least narrow down the problem.
Throttle linkage banging on the bellhousing.
Forementioned Slinger inside the timing cover.
WF's...
