    tapping the deuce's fuel tank for a generator

    RE: tapping the deuce Go thru the bottom, into the drain. Make a compression fitting, extend the pipe4 or5 inches up into the tank..so you don't suck debris and, most importantly, use all of the fuel in the tank and strand yourself. 2cents Look at the Mfg . intsallation instructions. Sometimes...

    GL recovery

    Well, lost out on a trailer today, but, my friend got his EUC approved today! We will be going to Barstow MCLB next thursday to pick up his new deuce. My question is, 1, will the base have an issue with me driving my truck there and driving it on the base? 2, I have put over 3k on the truck...

    Gasket Set ID Help

    The ones I just did are the same shape and the permaseal is th same, but the gaskets were coated with a black or dark grey coating like the head gaskets from FelPro for a BB chevy. Had the same gromets for the oil passages and the permaseal around the coolant passages.

    Head Gaskets

    a1171, Thanks, the truck runs great, no more leaking head gaskets! Put 50 miles on it since Sunday. It's nice to not have a big slobber down the side of the block.

    Rusty LDT 465-1C engine from GL. Any hope?

    I think it's worth it just for the xtras. All rust does is season it!

    Head Gaskets

    Clinto, that's the guy who had them for 150. I asked if he would have more at the same $ after the auction, the next week, they were listed for 200. These aren't the valve grind sets cs is talking about. they are complete sets, valve covers to pan, rear seal to front seal and all gaskets and...

    Head Gaskets

    Patrick, yeah, that's a little bit of rust. The boots in the injector lines are rotted so thery were a little stuborn to remove. That's right after taking them off. I just brake cleaned, electronic cleaned then rust penetranted them to keep them from rusting after I got them apart. groundhog...

    WC51 varient?

    I want another truck. I found one i'm interested in, but I don't know what it is. It looks like a WC51, but it has 2 rear axles. It has been in the high desert for a long time, in Randsburg, Ca., just 20 or so miles from Edwards AFB. It is air force colors and relatively free of rust from being...

    Head gasket problem...Perhaps not

    The gaskets I just took off were the multi piece type. There are only holes in the gasket for oil and coolant passages. The new style, one piece gaskets are like a Fel Pro head gasket for a BB Chevy..only blackish, not blue. They have a perma seal strip around the push tube cavities and grommets...

    Head nut wrench.

    I think so. The military wrench is aflexy flier. When I torqued up with the one I made, it was a very firm feeling at the end of the wrench. I'd use a good homemade one over the military version any day. I wonder if Saturn will give me a credit?

    Head Gaskets

    Well, I checked the flatness with a straight edge made for checking for head warp..borrowed it from work. They were fine, couldn't get a .001 feeler gauge under it at any spot on the head. The heads alone are kind of heavy, maybe 80 lbs and I couldn't imagine trying to take all of the exhaust...
