Thanks :lol: .....But, there's no shortage at home! Up at the Outer Banks in NC at the moment. Following the coast back home. You folks have some fabulous country, that's for sure. I'm loving every minute of it.:thumbsup:

I met this lady the other day on a hiking trail at Huntington Beach in South Carolina.

Welcome. Beautiful car......I'm sure that you will do a great job. And no, most of us don't do this for profit. LOL, we are usually upside down by the time we are finished.

What a boring fricken' video.....No drama! Seriously, that engine sounds fabulous.

I'll pull your tail sometimes as well, but I have no problem with you. Most of us are big boys and girls. :thumbsup:

Moved in permanently when I retired from the city. The little guy isn't with us anymore unfortunately. :(

That engine sounds great Steve. Maybe an air lock? I poured my antifreeze into the engine with a tea spoon when I first filled it......Worried about the air lock. I've had damn geysers out of the rad before.

Dan's posts spark some interesting conversations. I have found useful info in some of his threads using the search function. Sometimes I ask questions just because I am interested in a topic.

:popcorn:

Alright, here's what the oiling holes look like on the shaft..... When viewing the assembly from the front of the engine, the hole with the banana groove is pointing slightly towards the outboard side of the engine since it is not centered. The banana groove is especially important here with...

The shafts have 2 holes per rocker as well. Did you say that you are running hydraulic lifters?

Those shafts look like they are from a stamped steel set up. You can tell by the large oiling holes. Adjustable 273 rockers have 2 oiling holes per rocker on the shaft. One near the loaded side of the rocker base (Should have a banana groove, but they all don't) and one to feed the rocker...

Damn, I just sold 8 of them and a rough set of 4.5 rallys for $150 just to get rid of them.

:lol:I saw that......But I didn't want to be the guy who said it!

Great work Steve :thumbsup: Satisfaction for a job well done!

And OP, don't forget that after the 90* btdc on #1 compression, you have to go all the way around and stop at 20* ATDC on the 2nd time around.

My mild build 340 turned out to have 175 psi cranking pressure. That's with reducing the compression height of the pistons, and a .050 head gasket. Does that mean I'm S.O.L? Pistons are .018 out of the hole and the heads cc out at around 70.

Been there, done that,........Bought the tee-shirt!

I'd rather go to the dentist :lol:

:poke: :poke: :poke: Just shitting ya!

3 weeks and less money.

Close enough for me! 1971 Demon seats done custom by a local guy. Pretty impressed with his work. Turns out he can do glass and all things interior.......

Since you bypassed the ammeter, maybe that splice has grounded out somehow?

LOL......I bought a first gen Cummins truck like this. Seller dumped it on me thinking he had big $$$ problems.

I agree. My thoughts.......Most semis have a great maintenance schedule and most of the small stuff would be caught before it became big stuff. If folks can't keep their bearings greased, they would probably miss a weeping seal. Hit a rock, the sight glass breaks unknowingly.....stranded.

I think @Princess Valiant was interested in this.

I'd be worried about failure. Normal styles can tolerate a little misuse as long as you check them at the beginning of the season. If you lose a seal in an oil bath.....You've got nothing. I suspect that we wouldn't get the same quality set up that you'd see on a semi. I'd carry a spare hub...
