I put the battery tester on the front battery - checks good. Aft batter checks bad so it's on the charger. Likely that's all it is.

Don't overlook that both batteries should ideally have come off the production line one after the other.I put the battery tester on the front battery - checks good. Aft batter checks bad so it's on the charger. Likely that's all it is.
Well, my jaw dropped if that's what you were going for. Sweet Jesus.Finally got my Supercharged P400/765R4/241 drivetrain finished and ready to swap into my M1028. Now if I could just find the time………

Edit: Ten minutes later, I'm still studying the picture. Is the thing on the top right a cartridge oil filter canister?
There’s no need for an element. The centrifugal force of 6,000 rpms spinning the oil throws all contaminants, even blow-by carbon, against the inner wall of the rotating vessel inside the housing. The oil stays honey colored. Still should change the oil and traditional filter at regular intervals, at which time the outer housing of the Spinner is removed with a single knurled nut on top, then the inner housing lifts off and comes apart so the contaminates can be scraped out. The housing is then washed in a parts washer and reinstalled inside the housing. Google it - Spinner centrifugal oil filter. And yes, I designed & fabricated everything myself.I've heard of centrifuge oil filters for making black diesel, but never thought about putting one on an engine. Is there an element on the chamber walls to trap contaminants? There is quite a lot of custom bracketry going on here. You made it yourself? Either way, it's impressive, but even more so if homebrew.
I would think so.At 6,000 rpm the oil is cleaned to sub-micron purity.
I would think so.
Have had vehicles that only revved to under 5,000 and the only filtration they had was a centrifugal filter. In those it was built into the crankshaft pulley.
That's a broad range of options, Mainsail, isn't it?Pulled the bell housing cover off - yep - seems to be the flex plate.
Still deciding whether I want to fix, farm out the fix, or sell as-is.

Not crazy about sliding the transmission back - out in the driveway now that the rainy season is here. I was prepping it to sell when the flex plate started clattering. It figures...That's a broad range of options, Mainsail, isn't it?
