Great news and progress, look forward to seeing the stand as I need to make one myself. A company on the big "E" has the oil drain valves, I made an offer and got it shipped for $20, thanks for posting that part number.

That is safety wire for the bolt, mine has the same thing. I had to replace my heim joint as well, you can see the part in my thread.

Mark, according to the part number this place has them for sale. Of course all I can go by is the part number in the TM. Update: I just ordered one using this part number, when it arrives I will post up a picture and we will see if it's the correct one, it was $10 shipped...

Carrier rear mount.

I made a couple offers but some one else got it, oh well I need a running engine first.

Thanks for the report, just imagine if the shelter was full of commo gear. My thermostat is marked 170 deg. so sounds like your gage is working great.

I plan on using a tractor to lift mine out, must be some one near by with a tractor or excavator that can do the job.

Approx. 7min 21sec in and onward, several tan A2's in action on Grenada, some what I would call "hasty" still green on the inside and even some tan ambulance versions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqwMXmhWFq0

I agree, I have seen several videos of those engines running quite easily on a makeshift stand.

Looks good, thanks for posting up the pictures

At my work we use a high voltage probe similar to this Fluke, allows you to use a standard meter to measure high voltage. As a safety measure we never touch the meter or leads while taking a voltage reading. http://en-us.fluke.com/products/all-accessories/fluke-80k-40.html

Wow Tom, that looks great, I needed some good news. That center air duct was weighing on my mind as it's not a separate part. Hopefully by now the blood has drained back where it belongs. Again, many thanks and a great job.

They should be more accurate, look forward to seeing them installed.

Good job on tracking that engine down, good time of year for a road trip, keep us updated.

I checked with white Owl today, the used engine may be an option for me, he said they test run them. Of course shipping is always an issue for me in the great North of Maine.

Here are the pictures that tell the story of the stuck engine. All because a critter crawled up into the exhaust and made a root cellar. You can see where the debris leaked down into the cylinders, #3 was the worst with a big hunk of nasty, looks like a domed piston. So now the engine had to...

It really sucks as the engine is very clean and shows no sign of oil leaks, hopefully the head can be repaired.

Pulled the manifold tonight, just as I suspected all packed in with acorn crap and it looks like all the exhaust valve stems are rusted. And I'm sure which ever valves may have been open crap leaked into the cylinders. Head is off next.

I would think as long as they have been in business they must have some, worth a try for sure.

I sucked out a lot more from the manifold last night, there was even what appeared to be roots growing in there, before you know I think a tree would have sprouted. I have the manifold nuts soaking in Kroil and Ill take them off tonight and see what evil lurks behind it.
