You mean like one of these?

I am only about 25 miles from you and would love to see it in person someday. You would not have happened to buy the originals from a place in Westhampton did you? They were in really rough shape. If you can't save and restore them then at least make something neat out of it which you have done...

I doubt the lack of the oil change caused this problem unless the fuel issue you were having was a bad fuel pump and it was pumping gas into the crankcase and diluting the oil. Other than that old oil will generally not cause issues with relatively low mileage on it. I was thinking along the...

No foul, don't worry. I just didn't want to see anyone spend thousands on an engine doing a total rebuild when you can get perfectly good used engines for 300.00. I think it is great you are willing to go and help him. I do that up here in my neck of the woods when I can.

I fully agree with the check first, I just said "IF" it is worn it is probably a lack of oil. I have never seen a M-151 cam wear out a lobe. That was a 70's Chevy deal. And BTW, I have been a master auto and diesel tech for 38 years. :cool: Been there, Done that and seen it all BUT, will...

If the mechanic is saying a "lobe" broke off he would probably be referring to the cam. A lifter is a solid chunk of steel and if it broke there would be collateral damage. The side of the block would be broken! If the cam is wiped out I would suspect it was not getting oil so there are going...

They are solid lifters, how exactly is it broken? You can't lengthen the push rod, if the lifter broke in a way that you feel the push rod needs to be longer then the cam is probably wiped out.

Like Mr. OSHA will be out there.:whistle:

And it makes it first dollar before the final finish is even done! Way to go. Looks like you were about maxed out on the height with the tanks. You say you ran out of fuel coming in, did you fill up going out? What kind of mileage are you getting? I would imagine that with the jobs you get in...

For those that say they can get 70 mph easily, what is your rpm at that speed? Do you have a steady supply of extra motors? And how well would you be able to stop that combo in an emergency?

I have a video but it is four sections totaling almost three hours. Take out the front and Cabells breakdown and the return on main roads cuts it down to i.5 hour. I will see if I can pick some decent sections to put up. Been real busy since getting home.

Well Cabell, I had to wake up the old CJ to move it to make room for the impending septic system. The big block roared to life................... on four cylinders. After yanking the top on the carb and cleaning out the water, varnish mix from the left hand bowl it fired right off. After some...

I went through the TM-5-4310-277-14 manual, figure 3-1, page 2. and the only oil mentioned for moderate temps is 30 weight motor oil. Sound about right? I have always used air compressor oil in all of my shop compressors.

The best I can come up with in a model is HGR5-8M. I adjusted the cutout down to 125 until I can get a regulator for it. This is the unit I will be using out back in the yard. Right now it is cutting out at 125 and in at 120. I will set it to spec of 175 and 145 when I get the regulator.

OK, Air compressor guys. I have a 15 cfm compressor powered by a 4AO32 engine and a Quincey compressor on what appears to be a 60 gallon horizontal tank. I am trying to find out if this thing is putting out what it should. Got it running great, when it starts, that is another issue. Once running...

Last ones. At this point I want to thank Carl for the exclusive ride in the halftrack, I have never ridden in one and probably never will have the chance again.

Still going. You will notice that Cabell is still milking the finger injury at dinner.
