I assume on a non TD block if the head bolts are over torqued, the top of the head deforms or the threads pull. Does anyone know? I wonder if it would help to put keen sert or time serts in the head to increase the amount of cast iron the fastener is pulling on.
Are studs for TD blocks longer?
Got 3 engines to test.
Think I might hook a radiator up and run enough to get up to temp and make sure the booster pump isn’t making oil. Check Water pump for leaks. Replace oil lines on bottom of IP while it’s out. Delete intake heater supply. Check oil pressure…what else?
Seems like a “wet kit” might be the handiest thing to have on a deuce. A hydraulic winch seems better than pto, and you can do a dump bed, log splitter, hoist, mini backhoe, plow, etc. with it...thoughts?

I might pull the stainless sheath back. Cut the wire. Machine the wire out of the threaded steel bulkhead fitting, maybe open up to fit small diameter fuel hose to seal and insulate the wire. Splice new submersion rated wire on with submersion rated heat shrink tubing. Pull...
Runs and drives, needs a little TLC. A buddy trailered it home for me. Little bent up from being offroaded. Maybe swap the dropside bed with my nice truck and resell this one, or sell my nice one and fix this one up for me.
Tank got scrapped but I got the truck.
The question is what next? Some bonehead cut the batt cables so I’ll fix that and put batts in it. Gotta clean out the tank. Suppose I could slave fuel and batts off the ‘70. But what about the shutoff cover being left off? Dare I try to clean it out and...
Howdy.
I'm an M35 guy. I just heard there's a CCKW locally that's being threatened with the scrap yard. I don't have interest in myself, but wanted to put it out there. It's rough, doesn't have a bed, and may have a Ford engine and stickshift in it...thoughts? Hope to go see it Saturday.
Thanks
I have 4 of these tires, thinking about getting more. Has anyone dealt with the seller of Canadian military tires? How difficult or expensive is it to get them across?
Thanks
