Can't tell you how many times people "troubleshot" an oil leak and called it a rear main. That's why I was in the position I was in. I was a lead and liked to teach others. It is hard to TS something over the web or thru pics. But, sometimes I am correct. I do kinda miss that. but I do like...

Well, from the picture, it looks like there is oil farther forward on the engine, looks like the fuel pump side. The bottom of the flywheel housing is the lowest point...except for the bottom of the pan....and the oil, if leaking from elsewhere, will flow back there and look like a leak. Get a...

And thank you very much for the input. That's one of the reasons why I love this site!

Very good, we will give the guy a call that it came from and see what he has.

Do we need that paperwork to sell it?

As some of know, the Museum has decided to sell an FV603, the one here, https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/alvis-saracen-fv603.187525/. We do have some people interested, but it occurred to me that there MIGHT need to be paper work involved, like import stuff. We have none. Do we need...

I was one on the flight BLKHMMWV mentioned. My heart stopped when I heard the news.

If you get some that have the thin red silicone bead on them, they go bead side to the block. Only 1 of those type in the stack up per box. If the stack you get is a couple of thousandths thicker, no big deal, the shims will compress a bit.

Your best bet is to leave it alone. The overflow valve is a very common item that fails. I'm sure that after you install it, you will notice a bit of a difference.

Put the new valve into the banjo, if only threads are showing.....remember to put the sealing washeres on both sides....it will be fine. Use the lift pump primer button until you hear a hiss at the pump. Foot tothe floor when cranking, it will start.

The stock lift pump, well the newer versions of the pump that came on the engines in the 900 series trucks, is capable of upwards of 70 psi. If you still have the original, small bodied lift pump, you can upgrade it to the newer style and adjust the relief pressure to around 40 psi and the...

The pump on a B series....on road anywho, is a P series, 7100 with RQVK governor. The on road pumps for the C were MW, which is what the 900 series trucks have, with rqv governor and, later in life, 1994 and above, P with RQVK. B series never had MW pump. They are a PITA to work with...

The tank should work, but, as stated somewhere above, the pressure the pump puts out will over power the needle and seat causing gas to pour into the manifold and into open valve cylinders. Just leave the pump out of it and go to NAPA for a low pressure in line pump made for carbureted engines...

Vinyl is shiny unless it has been painted, I have seen woodland and plain sand colors. Canvas can go away quickly if it is not preserved yearly. IMHO, canvas is a bit cooler and only smells of, well, canvas. Vinyl smells like plastic, especially when warm. Canvas is easier to work with, say if...

I have access to tires. Let me see what they are. New take off from NG units. I know they are 20 inch and I think Goodyears. :ROFLMAO: DB was my junk, SoCal Spring Rally is Fastnova's deal. While his is awesome, it will never be DB! :ROFLMAO: Might be going, it would be good to see your ugly azz!

Please don't post in all caps, it makes you seem like you are yelling. It is also in the rules under the "DO NOT'S".

Spring Rally, not DB........

Aluminum flat stock works well.

IIRC....again....the drive onthe military stuff was larger than "normal" Make sure you give an ESN to whom ever is ordering the shaft. If they can't do it, I can supply an OLD number and it can be cross referenced

There is a tool to do it, but pretty easy to do it w/o it. Just as Simp says, you just need a driver to re-install. The pic above is the tach drive shaft bushing. If you don't have one, a socket can be used, I used to use a snappy 1/2 chrome deep socket. The drive end fit perfectly in the seal...
