I am wondering what you guys are paying to have the head decked (flattened) and for valve job repairs on your multi-fuel. I am starting to find out who does this locally and needed some idea of how much I should be paying for it. Thanks.

I start changing out the head gaskets today. I thought I had the leak into the oil fixed with the oil cooler repairs. But, yesterday I noticed the radiator cap, new, seeping AF from over pressure when the engine was still cool. I figure the head gaskets are done. So, I take it to the...

Which TM has the head gasket replacement instructions?

We seem to have a number of members in the DFW area now. Would any be interested in a meet up say in Dallas/Ft. Worth/Arlington for breakfast/lunch/dinner some time in the next few weeks? Perhaps anyone wanting to join in the Medal of Honor Parade in Gainesville on April 9 might be interested...

New Life Canvas just delivered the new shell casing deflector canvas. Great looking. Now, where can I come up with the spring or cable to thread through the canvas and into the mount? Any ideas?

I was just on the Ouverson Engineering website looking at the deuce lock out hubs. It seems there are more than one kind? What is up there?

With the recent posts on the leaking spin on filter adapters, I began watching my jatonka adapters more closely. The weather here has gotten down to 9 degrees, which in Texas is unheard of, and we have had snow and ice all week. An honest lawyer cannot make a living if the court house is...

OK, it is getting to be oil change time again. I wanted magnetic drain plugs for the deuces. Where to find them? I got four 7/8-18 drain plugs from O'Reilly Auto Parts for $4 each. I got some super magnets off eBay for $8. Smaller than a dime. Some Gorilla Glue and thirty minutes later I...

I want to get a heavier battery cable to link my two deuce batteries. I have a light weight cable from O'Reilly but I need a heavy duty I believe. What guage wire should I be looking for? Any parts house source like NAPA?

A bit of background. After a parade a friend parked the deuce without turning off the lights. They drained the batteries and remained in the 'on' position for a couple of weeks. The batteries are fairly new, two years old, 6TL batteries. I have the charger on them for most of the day. At...

Took maybe twenty minutes for both sides. Got them from jatonka today around 11:30 and took some pics shortly after coming home and putting them on. Not enough grease on the hands to make a big difference, gaskets were included with them, and remove the bolts, assemble to the axles and...

While at the UNT Homecoming Parade a week or so ago, I noticed a flat on the first deuce. No telling how long it was deflated. I asked Jimmy McElrod from V V A 920 to use his glad hand air package. He generously loaned it to me. The one I had in the truck had a connect incompatible with the...

After driving in parades for a bit, a clicking or tapping noise on the passenger side begins. Any ideas on what that may be?

I noticed a very small amount of diesel around the number two injector yesterday. Just a few drops of diesel that has kind of shined the outside of the injector. Is there a fix or just replace the entire injector?

I am putting new head gaskets on next week. I got the entire engine gasket set from OD Iron just in case we find other items that need work. So, an old time mechanic tells me that it would be a good idea to replace the head studs and nuts. He says this is common in rebuilding diesel motors...

I have decided to replace the head gaskets on the deuce and I have been looking about for a gasket kit. I want the 'new style' head gaskets, I think. Anyone with experience chime in on that issue. I looked at OD Iron's website, found gasket kits and the price seemed right. The description...

I noticed the deuce was low on coolant. Six two pound coffee cans of water later it was filled till I could see it in the filler neck. While still cold I could see leakage around the radiator cap. I unscrewed the cap and water gushed out. Is (a) this normal, or (b) indicative of a blown head...
