Or....just leave the fuel off by means of the wire on the fsov or positive shut down, and crank it 'till you see oil pressure. Honestly, in almost 30 years of working on this junk, I ain't seen a failure from not pre filling a filter at oil changes. If you think about the way an oil filter is...

I'll call ya Mike!

An update, the guys at the Museum pulled the rear armor, air filters and pulled the lids. Lots of rusty parts up top. The cam lobes are all there, the valve cups are clear but pitted on the cam contact face and I noted some scoring on the valve buckets. The oill drain holes are clear. My best...

Here's what's in the last of the inventory...so far. Hard copies of the -10 and -20's in great cond. A 1964 hard copy of the tm for an M105...the one that shows both axles used, a battlefield damage assessment and field repair tm, camo netting tm, an original, laminated m35a2 LO, a stick of...

Here's a tip on "blow-by". First, you can't tell if an engine, any engine, has high CC pressure by just the smoke out the filler cap or road draft tube. The pressure needs to be measured with the proper tool, a manometer, and by the proper method, different manufacturers have different methods...

If so, PM me. I have a few things I would like to liquidate, some parts, TM's, etc. Don't want to mess with shipping. Will

DURAMAX!! An LBZ.

An update, decided to pull the lids and see if the holes in the cups are plugged up. Jake and I went down to the Museum last Sat and went to work on it while sitting on the line. Got the lids loose, but the studs are a bit too tall to get the v/c off with the air filters installed. Tried...

What color is it...the smoke :)

Put a socket and ratchet on the alternator and turn it reverse rotation. The tensioner will hold the belt tension and turn the engine. it won't hold in normal rotation.

A marine store, as in boat, should have the algaecide. Bosch inline pumps will self prime. Hold your foot to the floor and crank it, it will start. The FSOV has two circuits, pull and hold in. Pull in happens when the engine is cranked, the plunger will pull in. after the engine starts, the...

I am bummed, looks like it WAS a nice truck! http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/this-is-definitely-100-exactly-how-the-navys-railgun-s-1641207156/+matthardigree

What's "bad" about it? Did it pee on the carpet? The C is just like the NH, unless it is holed/ has block damage or has a spun bearing/broken crank, they are easily repaired in chassis.

Stencil machines have no lower case letters

NLOVHK....In Love with an HK. Nice idea for a license plate!

Did a flush, 1 gal of diesel and the rest oil, idled for a while to bring the engine up to temp, drained, refilled. The oil was clean the first drain, no chunks, fairl clear, it has been sitting. My first thought was stuck oil control rings, hence the flush. The smoke was no better/worse after...

This is what I would like to have verified. There is no CC pressure out the breather when running with the tank as a load. I have not put a manometer on it, but I can tell there is nothing major. In my past experience, valve guides with excessive clearance tend to suck oil down them on decel...

No CC pressure, the vent is open. Never been inside one of these, done a quite a bit of reading. I want to see inside or see parts so I have an idea of what is inside that keeps the oil from sucking down the guides while running. I think this feature is malfunctioning and causing the issue it is...

We have a nice Sherman at the Museum. It has a single issue, it smokes like a freight train at first start, oil smoke. The compression is OK, leakdown is nothing. After running maybe 15 mins under a load of just the weight of itself, the smoke will clear and there is no smoke on acel or decel...
