Oh... that might make a modicum of sense...
:rolleyes: this is way more random. This brochure

It was supposed to be a "some day" project, but the 225 going down bumped up the timeline

I will be honest and i'm sure others have said it already... you could get a facebook 318 for $150-200.. possibly good enough to just clean up and run with your new heads since you have em.. and come out ahead on money and power... i'm sure you have thought bout it 100 times though :)

Yeah... if I was doing anything else I would just have rebuilt the /6

I grew up with the 273 and one of my favorite engines. Might not be the cheapest to rebuild but the memories of running them and working on them would be worth the extra to rebuild one.
 
Hey!

You back to the house?
Yeah. Nothing rupture. All the organs look normal on all the scans. They can’t get me in for confirmation test on the gall bladder until the 31st. And that’s with it listed as critical.
 
They put the "care" in Healthcar
It’s the fact the same ingredient that caused the massive shortage in my daughters ADHD medication is used in this test. So they’re out of it with the next shipment due the 30th
 
Had a buddy that called me the other day from the hospital. Was admitted with kidney stones. Told me they blasted them with a laser. But he said it was quite painful up to that point. Told me they were giving him morphine. Lol
A friend of mine had some large kidney stones dealt with about 2 years ago. They were som bad that when he went for a pee....he could produce nothing much more than a puff of dust.
A specialist from USA was out here on business and was alerted to his case somehow.....long story short he was rushed up the queue and treated quickly. After a week or so from the op he had to pull the strings out of his kidneys via the 'ole fella'......I believe his wife helped with this in a very warm shower. He did tell us at the time how relieved he was after a day or so from removal.

Now he can piss like a cart horse again. (Not a Budweiser one though ...they sit down to piss.) :lol:

BTW....this friend is the guy who mastered my disc brake swap.....and we did that only weeks before his op. He was in a lot of pain rolling around on the floor under my truck at the time. We took it slowly, and I ended up doing more than I thought I would myself.

That hurts just thinking about it.

I quit about 54 years ago..... got caught with my father's still lit butts while riding my tricycle. It was funny at the time apparently....I don't remember it that well. :lol:

Coffee time. Bought myself one of them fancy coffee machines.

Cummins mystery is solved. Well at the moment.

Head was warped between number 5&6 cylinders, just ever so slightly but enough to bypass the gasket and let water thru. It was warped between the two water ports, on the exhaust valve side of the cylinders, which explains why no oil in coolant and why the coolant turned to mustard.
 
Well, no salads for dinner here tonight. Just comfort food. Fried shrimp fried oysters and crispy fries. Keeping it healthy with some cottage cheese. Lol
