Thanks Jeff! Will keeps reminding me about the knock and I'm getting close to doing something about it (the knock, that is :-)). Images of freeze plugs on my parts engine....

I only have the horizontal plate, no support(s). If you want me to I'll post the hole locations... The outside dims are 9x14-3/8. Material thickness is 0.140.

RE: Re: Coolant acidity Very true Lee. Cooltrack works for gycol/water, figured that's what Fleetcharge was also...

IMHO, some of the mixes suggested (used) above should be qualified with the number of miles driven on that particular mix. I'm concerned about effects on the IP from used motor oil in particular and aslo the resulting exhaust. At least one of you should take a sample of the used motor oil as...

Testing the strips in liquids with known pH is a good recommendation. Also, how much coolant did you replace, the radiator alone is 5 gallons and its drain will not drain the engine itself, which may also include a heater core (personnel heater)? Kenny, don't know if you are kidding or not, but...

I think I have one, I'll check in the morning if it's the right thing and post measurements.

Good procedure is always interesting to read. Thanks Russ! How did you determine that the blowby was out of the ordinary? PS. Did you get your flasher problem solved?

Somebody may be able to supply the dimensions, should be an easy fab job locally and saving you shipping charges for a steel plate.....

Cooltrak test strips have a limited shelf life and may effect the result. A pH of 3 is very acidic almost like vinegar right out of the bottle, something ain't right.

Of course, grease also keeps rust away from steel surfaces. Wheel bearing grease contains fibers(?) to make it stick and not run.

Read this for the first time, just couldn't believe it would take 17 responses to answer the original question. :-)

If we create one exclusive "area", it may lead to other exclusive areas for "gear heads", diesel experts etc. I don't think that would benefit the general population of the steelsoldiers forum, just my HO.

In that case, Mike, keep it.

Is there a hidden meaning here, besides finding today's date?

Re: RE: Cussin Hmmm..one thing that wasn't well planned...

Post ten thousand Kenny!!!! :D :D :D

Jim Henry's in Albemarle, near Charlotte, NC is almost in SC...:-)

Hmm...I have a vintage "pot still" for sale if someone is interested....copper kettle tubing and cooling tank.....PM if interested....

Actually, no, a spiral can be "screwed" into the tank thru a smaller opening. You will need extra hole(s) for your hands to move the coil around and to complete the connections, though. I did this for the 10" inch dia copper coil in my deuce (and 8x8) fuel tank. Used 4" openings easily cut...

Possibly, but having it come on independently of other switches provides a self test and shows that it's working. Also, as I have stated this before, an intermittant buzz is not bad at all, somehow your ears persieve it as a lower intensity sound. Have had it this way for years and it's no...
