Drive at the speed and style you can afford. Brakes are cheaper than engines, clutches and transmissions. Also easier to repair. Downshifting to slow down after a lifetime of driving sports cars was a tough habit to break ... but I only use engine braking when driving my MGB's now.

Are you considering a shroud around the fan? The price is really sweet ... as long as it get the job done in August pulling up and down these hills. BTW Greg ... thanks for the info!!!

The radiator looks a little short, Did you check the capacity & surface area? Do you have the part number on that radiator? If these radiators spec out right, Summit has some pretty sweet prices compared to NOS ... or even rebuilds. But its not going to do any good if its too small. I...

What was your source for this brush? I'm thinking that a 10mm bore brush for cleaning firearms might work. The spiral ones in bronze would be less likely to scratch or damage anything. Also ... What was your source for the adjusting shims? You mentioned "large bore a/c". Do you know which...

Neat! Can you give a bit of a description of what we're looking at?

You will find this topic covered and discussed 6 ways to/from Sunday in the Alternative Fuel portion of this site: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?73-Alternative-Fuels You will find a wealth of information, fact, speculation and rumor there. Make sure you take your reading...

Do you remember the thread? I'd like to read that study.

Especially in an area where the local government has no zoning rules or construction codes. In some places, the only thing that prevents the property next to your from becoming a pig farm, is a HOA. Of course, If you like pigs ... it ain't no problem. Exactly correct. We were one of the...

Cuttin' about 4 feet off the back end of it.

Water and heavier material will settle or separate to the bottom of lighter waste oil. Oil and water do NOT mix ..or "blend". Go here for a simple explanation: http://humantouchofchemistry.com/why-oil-and-water-do-not-mix.htm If you heat your waste oil, water and heavier sludge will settle...

I do. I was given a very large quantity in the autumn of this year and have been blending with it since. Your guess is correct, Jet 8 and Jet A are mostly kerosene, as opposed to Jet B which is a naphtha-kerosene blend. I'm having very good results with it. Even during the coldest weather up...

:ditto: Yep. It ain't about speed or power ... and it really could mean more than just MPG's. Just making certain that each cylinder is getting the exact same volume of air as its brothers could extend the life expectancy of this engine quite a bit.

THAT is a great question. I would love to see numbers off a flow bench. I've never done any performance work on a diesel engine, but I have done enough gasoline engines to know that not every engine responds well to porting and polishing. Some heads have been designed and cast to max...

I always wanted to give this a try. How many miles have you put on the tires after they were grooved? Since the groovin' got done, have you seen any sign of chunking? \

That is a TERRIFIC IDEA. A GREAT use of otherwise wasted space. Also a very neat install. It is VERY important to keep things neat and organized when working with electricity. A car fire can just WRECK your whole dang day. If I could offer a small suggestion ... do you have enough room to...

Subscribed. I've been planning the very same project for a while now. I already have the same 24/12VDC convertor you are using. The only thing I would advise is to make sure of is that your alternator is putting out enough amps to charge the batteries AND supply all the 12VDC stuff you intend...

Thanks for the help.

I have a Jeep and an MGB-GT that needs this stuff as well. Where did you get it?

It looks like a great fix ... where can you get this stuff?

I'm glad to see that they at least gave this a test. The Military generates a LOT of waste lubes. Its nice to see that somebody was doing some thinking. Although I'm very glad to have this resource, unfortunately, it really wasn't much of a test. Page 5: "Used Oil Preparation: 426.7...
