My Brothers and Sisters: I pulled my valve cover off to change the valve cover gasket. I noticed a large pool of oil between the # 2 and 3 valves. I'm not sure of the theory of this part of the engine; is that oil supposed to be there?

I have a KW steering wheel puller I can loan you if you haven't purchased yours yet.

I don't know about unknown military gear - but I did lose my military bearing once... That's from the gear between the M1951 revision and the M1960 revision IIRC. It was designed to be used with the H style suspenders, but the ALICE / LBE suspenders would work on it. This was a highly prized...

Awesome! Congrats!

Congratulations!

Off Work for the Day.... Don't what I'm going to do...but I'm doing it to my Jeep!

The rubber mat is a little bit big, so I am going to cut it down and make floor mats for the front with it. I like it because it protects the paint and the dog doesn't slip around so much. I have doggles and a helmet for her, I need to get a picture of her suited up and post here.

What I Did to My M38A1 on Christmas Day Enjoyed it! Here we are filling up with non-ethanol fuel.

Awesome! I am impressed that you are going with copper for your vacuum lines. Very nice touch.
