Making oil!

[pigpen60]

I'm really hoping someday someone asks me how to change an electrode in a crystal puller! This is my first encounter with the m35a2 engine/fuel system so its a learning experience. I replaced the "blue line" and the return line and she finally fired and ran. Now I need to drain the oil and start over.

Make sure you check every day after you use the truck for oil dilution. The boost pump still might be a problem.

OK, what is a "crystal puller" ? Or were you being funny ?

A crystal puller is what we grew the silicon rods in that became your computer chips. The electrodes were made of stainless and had water running through them to keep them from melting. You melted silicon chunks in a quartz crucible under vacuum and grew the rod onto a "seed" of silicon. The rods we grew were? 4,5,6,8 and 12". I worked at MEMC for 20 something years before it became Sun Edison. Frank I looked at your link and it didnt come up.

12" think I need my rod to grow so I need sand and a vacuum got it. Already have the small seed.

I just knew this was gonnah go someplace not as was the intention.
But that's what she said........................

Nice pictures, but I got lost on the center body cubic lattice.

Boy, you ask a simple question around here and it really heads South fast !
At least I now know what a "crystal puller" is.

I just worked on them, that lattice stuff lost me!
