Old timer mechanic told Me to thoroughly coat the coolant plugs with Aviation Permatex No.1 gasket sealer. He said that would keep the coolant off of them and keep them from rusting out, so I always did that. I mentioned the hot coolant rinsing off the sealer, he said it gets some but not all if...

Just runnum.

See niw with that information, when I decide to start setting Sono tubes then I now know what to look for on posts and bases.

See, simple solution to my complicated mind. 😖🫣😬😹😹😹😹

Yup, valves at 45* and seats at 46* is how we did them. A little memoracle jog from @ak diesel driver allowed the fog if old age forgetfulness to thin out a little.

On valve seats, reason for not having such a wide seat is so that it dies not allow for a lot of carbon to build up on the seats. I figure tgat after twenty thousand miles the seats most likely will be pounded to full width anyway. 🫣🤷😹

I do believe that there is other alternatives to rot free construction types of materials other than wood products. Might ask about those options too. If using some sort of PT to the concrete sonic tubes(I think is what they is called) then use the steel clips that sandwich two opposite sides of...

Imperative that there is a good ground from the rear door to a good grounding source. Hinges do not make for a good ground.

If there is a forward switch from the front seat then try that, if it still dont function then Check the fuse. If fuse is good, hook a jumper wire from a good clean ground on the door and a clean ground to the body or frame then check function of the window. If motor still does not function then...

You want the valve to seat closer to the inside edge of the valve than closer to the outside area of the valve face. Too close to the outside surface of the valve face can create excessive heat to the thin edge of the valve face and that in turn could create a burn out.

After You lap them valves into the seats, slap the valve real hard into the seat, several times. Now look at the seat facing of the valve, IDK if lapping produces the same results as a fresh ground valve seat and valve but the fresh ground, without lapping will show a thin darkish line around...

I hole sawed some holes in the bottom before I started putting a lid on it. I have plenty of these so should exchange it out. 🤷😹

This dont slide around and keeps all the containers clean and dry.

I think our NAPA store might have it on the shelf. I’ll have to see next time i get in there, which is soon, my 1/2 gallon, or whatever size it is run out so I’ll be needing some before too long. I have a square cat litter bucket in the back of the truck with a gallon of engine oil and two of...

Welcome to thetruckstop smid-1. Nice looking truck. It appears You might need a step ladder when getting in and out of it though. 🤷🫣😹

Yup, I runnum both, except I been using the performance formula Stanadyne. Maybe next batch I’ll try the lubricity formula.

If I do greasable U-Joints, I’m be looking fir ones with the zerk in the trunion cap. I’m tired of trying to fanangle a needle point into them small unseeable spaces.

I always dump in some TC-W3 when I fuel my truck. For the DS electronical pump I try to get it to about an ounce to two gallons of fuel.

Mix in some TC-W3 two stroke oil too. A quart to five gallons probably wont hurt but others with more knowledge on DB-2 can probably give better guidance. 🤷😹
