Hello "Jeepsinker", Why of course this post is about "Rust Remover" and "Ackevor" did not formulate his thoughts.

Hello Ackevor, A one (1) gallon of Muriatic Acid ($8) and $10 of Baking Soda will easily out perform the expensive $170 NAS formula / Fluid film. Try some muriatic acid and baking soda some time.

Hello CARNAC, I have used with muriatic acid (dilute as necessary) then baking soda to neutralize with great results; quick and simple. If you use White Vinegar you still need a neutralizer! (Baking Soda) After rinsing the chains with water then drying I sometimes spray the chains with a light...

Hello "FrankUSMC" I was Shanhai'd into the Army in 1964 where I then became aware of the M37s and drove and rode in them. Most of the remaining M37s do have the ancient archaic or good old flat heads. I have only seen Cummins in the M37 by viewing on the internet. I have helped install 2 small...

Hello "Juskatla", The M37 engine of 230 or CDN 250 are almost identical for performance. Here in the USA the absolute so call Holy Grail for engine replacement for the M37 is the Chevy Small Block since 1955. There are and have been hundreds, if not a few thousand, Chevy Small Bolcks (others...

Hello Bert (T. Highway), I would like to clarify "Rotating Balancing and Compression Ratio". Compression Ratio and Balancing the rotating assembly are absolutely NOT related what so ever. By the way, if our bureaucratic government would have upgraded the complete drive train (around early 1960)...

Hello "nattieleather", I agree, "doing a lot of work" on the M37 flat head engine is putting "lipstick on a pig". Milling the head for higher compression is about the easiest work to do and for not much $$$. As soon as my other 3 projects are completed, I am taking a M37 and removing the...

Hello "teletech", Thanks for your input. However, a 3 angle or multi-angle valve and light porting improves horse power just a little bit as compared to increasing the compression ratio. I (M.E. Degree) can supply engineering thermodynamic formulas (Otto Cycle) to prove my point. You can mill...

Since the M37 engine (78 HP Dodge T245) has a low compression of 7:1, an easy way to increase Horse Power is to increase the compression ratio to 9:1 which should result in adding 15 Horse Power. Removing and milling the head to 9:1 compression ratio is somewhat simple. However, you need to...

Attached are 2 photos taken in the Iraq Green Zone in 2006. The Black Bus and other Black Buses were used at night.I Don't know what category the buses would be classified but they could technically be Armored Personnel Carriers.

Attached are 3 photos of British Defenders (Rat Patrol) taken at Camp Basrah Iraq in 2006. As far as I know, the British invented the Rat Patrols or officially know as Long Range Dessert Patrol (LRDP) in North Africa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Range_Desert_Group

Attached is an Armored Vehicle (Cadillac Gage V-100 ???) I took this photo at the PX in Baghdad Green Zone across from Saddam Hussein's Palace in 2006. I was a Mechanical Engineer working for a Construction Company building small Potable Water Plants throughout Iraq. We completed 70 small plants...

Attached are 2 Gun Trucks under construction at Camp ___ ? (forgot the Camp name near the Green Zone) in Baghdad 2006. I was then a civilian working on the Rebuilding of Iraq Programs. My brother who served in Vietnam around 1968 has quite a few Gun Tuck Photos. I will try to obtain the photos...
