Are there any tips or tricks to get the defrost duct hooked up under the dash? I've tried everything except spitting on it and telling her she's been a bad girl.

Can you take a short video of your blow by and post it up?

I replaced the pistons, rings, sleeves, bearings, lapped the valves, and all new gaskets. I still have noticeable blow by but it is not nearly as bad as it was. The longer I run the truck the better it runs, and the less the blow by I have. Unless you have a cloud of blow by I would run it...

I will do my best to be there with the Deuce. I tried to come last year but Uncle Sam thought I should be across the pond instead.....

With the air wipers, I remove the air line every 6-8 months and put a few drops of air tool oil directly into the wiper motor, then work it back and forth a few times. I have not had a problem with my wipers yet. I have used rain-X before, and it works great for the actual rain, but it did...

Let me tell ya.....Soldier A was a huge help, and a **** fine worker. I am very proud of him

Well, it was last week, but....I tore down and rebuilt the LDT in my Deuce. Found the top compression ring on cylinders 1-5 broken, and cylinder 6 had all 3 compression rings broken into about 4 pieces each. Put in new bearings, new pistons, liners, rings, lapped the valves and put all new...

Rail is going to be a pain in the butt, I wouldnt even consider that option. For what it will cost via trucking company, just sell the one on the East Coast and buy another one when you get to OR.

Okay I hope ya'll are ready for an awesome "I'm and idiot" moment.......... So I still could not figure out what the heck to problem was, knowing that I was getting fuel, air and all the moving parts were new, so I went back to the TM and started looking around for a possible answer. While I...

Where should I look for a compression tester that will work with the LDT? I want to make sure that it will have an adapter that will fit

Tried removing the injector again to make sure it was spraying fuel. It is spraying really nice. So, I removed the valve cover and the rocker arm, to inspect the top of the valves. All of the valves looked the same and had no noticeable play or differences. I put the rocker arm back on, made...

My pistons have 4 rings total. 3 compression, 1 oil. And yes I am still getting some blowby, but from what I understand these engines will always have noticeable blowby

I did take it for a short test drive hoping that it was just a piece of gunk that would clear out. During that drive there were a few "pops" that came from the exhaust, but other than that, just some puffs of blue smoke from the exhaust

All the piston kits were exactly the same, new in the box, with the sealed plastic over them
