    Fitting a "freeze plug" question

    What is the proper clearance for a freeze plug or cap in this case, before wacking it with a hammer? I need a solid fit and the cap will be drilled and tapped for a vent after installation. The 2-1/16 cap is too large, so I'll have to grind it down to fit. The next smaller size cap that I can...

    The basis for a thermocouple is to measure the voltage that develops between two dissimilar metals and the metals (wires) have to be the same all the way to the gauge. If there are additional metal to metal junctions along the way, there may be errors introduced. A connector or plug made for a...

    Aviation grade engine oil for genset?

    Interesting (this is all academic , but interesting in any case). The genset LO calls out OE/HDO (MIL-L-2104), which is different from the OE (MIL-L-45199) specified for the multifuel engine for example. The quote at the beginning of this thread came from one of the hits while doing a google...

    Brake issues on a M35A2

    Searching the TM can be frustrating at times and the index is not any where near complete, so I wouldn't blame you for asking a specific question here. The brake system is shown in the image below. Note how the master cylinder (MC) output is boosted by the Airpak (Air hydraulic cylinder). The...

    Stuck in my yard....TWICE!!

    An adventure, for sure, got stuck exactly like that one time in a septic tank drain field.... Got out after a couple of hours using the hydraulic outriggers, lifting the front out of the mud, piling rocks, wood etc under the tires. The outriggers kept pushing wood blocks deeper and deeper about...

    Aviation grade engine oil for genset?

    Opinions, pls, found this: " Automotive oil should never be used in an airplane engine. The most important reason not to use automotive oil in an aircraft engine is the number of additives in it that are designed for use in water-cooled engines operating within a certain range of...
