    Paint gun question

    If you are worried about the compressor and humidity, I would opt for the airless sprayer. You can also cut the Rapco 383 down with xylene. 4 parts paint to one part xylene. 2 gallons did my M35A2.

    new to painting

    I did my M35 with Rapco 383 ( 2 gallons ). I also cut it with xylene. 4 part paint to one part xylene. I also used the cheapo harbor freight paint gun kit. Hvlp.

    Brake fluid question

    That sounds like a really good price. I paid $20 for a quart from a mom and pop auto parts store, and had to wipe the dust off the bottle!

    Air compressor belt replacement?

    I replaced my compressor belt with regular tools. (Pipe wrench and a large set of "channel lock" pliers) It was a bit awkward but soaked in blaster helped. Hopefully you've loosened and moved the radiator. That'll help with work space and not having to get a radiator repair.

    Rear piston appears slightly melted. What to do about it?

    How do you fix that? Or do you just find a different block?

    Check your intake heater injectors!

    Yeah that too!

    Check your intake heater injectors!

    Removed the injector to check the brass tip, it wasn't loose, but it wasn't all that tight either. So I tightened down. I couldn't get the plug with the o-ring apart. (2nd attempt). I put it all back together with a new snap ring.At the very least, it doesn't leak fuel down on the turbo.

    Check your intake heater injectors!

    I couldn't get my injector apart to change the o-ring without totally destroying it, so I rerouted the fuel supply lines and capped the injector. Then put it back in it's place. No more fuel leaking on the turbo anymore! I still inspect it to make sure though. (Pre-Trip-Post-Trip).

    Anyone tried C&C equipment windshields?

    I got my windshields from Sam Winer motors in Akron Ohio. NOS fit perfectly. Little bit more money, but worth it in my opinion

    Over charging problems

    I changed the voltage regulator on my alternator back in August 2016. When I realized it was overcharging, I changed the regulator right away. Everything seems to be as it should. If something happens again, then I'll go for the modern 24V alt. It's a gamble. I won this round so far.
