Can you point me to the portion of the TM which indicates a different rocker arm ratio? My understaning was the the LDS465-2 rocker arm difference was the additiion of a squirter for the pushrod ball/socket.

I remember arguing your point with my college physics proffessor nearly 20 years ago. It is counterintuitive but correct that area is not part of the formula for calculating friction which is: fk = ukN where fk is the kinetic friction force uk is is the coefficient of kinetic friction...

Brake stopping power (ie. friction) is determined by the force and the coefficient of friction between the lining material and the drum or rotor. Area is not part of the friction equation. Obviously, the larger the diameter, the higher the surface speed and the higher the braking force.

You should be able to do hydraulic for just a bit over $1k.

IMHO, the 1600s have a cadillac ride.

I have 395 MVT on Marsh Racing wheels and they are about as big as I would go with using stock springs/no lift. I did try 1600s but there was only about 2" clearance between the tire and fender and the tires frequently caught the fender.

I found a significant improvement in traction by dropping the tire pressure to ~15psi or so.

I was very disappointed with the MVT in snow.

I know that I have done it before but I don't have the number at hand. Take the old points to NAPA and they can compare it to their book to get you the right part.

But isn't the sending unit downstream of the oil filter?

The 302 GMC is a late 1930s design engine with four main bearings, no full flow oil filter, no hardened exhaust seats in the head, siamesed ports, etc. It is slow because you have 130 horsepower at 3200 rpm. There isn't really a lot that you can do to really increase horsepower without spending...

We've got a later model bus (1989 or newer with TBI BBC) with a five speed. Any idea what tranny that might be? It has an iron case.

I have no idea about the G56. I went out and looked at the NV5600; the bellhousing is aluminum but the main case and tail housing is rusty iron. Dodge doen't paint ANY part of the drivetrain.

My NV5600 is iron-cased.

Here is some more anecdotal information from the tractor crowd on engine life: Today's Tractors :: View topic - White 2-155 Hercules engine ? Tractorman4840 Guest Report to Moderator Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2010 7:08 pm Post subject: White 2-155 Hercules engine ? I was just wondering how...

I found this with a quick search regarding engine life: http://www.freewebs.com/whitetractorcumminsconversions/ which states: If one down side to the 2-135/2-155 were to be identified, it would be the White/Hercules engines. Although these engines create a tremendous amount of low end...

I THINK that it was an 1167 but I don't remember anymore. Ditch the militaryt disty and get a civilian.

The engine was designed by Continental and sold, and sold, etc.

I think that the spec is as much determined by the steering gear as the pump. Ross has a wide range of possible fluids for their gear.
