    Deuce heater options

    Well if thats no good, help me out here, theres got to be a way to get excess motor heat turned into water heating heat beyond the 160-180 the thermostat will give. I'm not talking about wraping the whole pipe, just one or two loops , or go to the other side and a fiew loops on the oil filter...

    new, deuce one piece 22.5" rims??

    Ok , heres the thing, trying to jump into your thoughts as the Deuce goes....If you could find some 22.5 wheels in a six hole pattern to fit the Deuce, you will have to use tires like the ones found on 18 wheelers in either a street/road pattern or a snow/traction type. The wheels are usually...

    Deuce heater options

    Heres a thought how to get some heat to the box (guts) of the heater. As your coming off of the motor with the water line, come back and do some wraps/coils around the exhaust with the apropriate size of copper tubeing as close as practical to the turbo housing or first part of the j pipe and...

    fuel fired heater

    Some years ago I had a Southwind gas heater, which were widly used in VW's. I needed a igniter for it and searched, this was back in about 1994-95 or so and the Company that messed with them was in Castle Rock Colorado. They also used a specialty fuel pump. It might be that they are still in...

    Wet stacking after startup

    This is getting long-winded, but the point of all this is durability of your motor for years to come by extending lubrication charicteristics of your oil system. The seperate pieces, the bearings and the turbo are to be considered. The sound I'm hearing on start-up without pulling the stop cable...

    New rust protection for deuce this year

    Some years ago, I had an Old Fart friend that had 5+plus acres of all kinds of Diesel motors, trucks, TREASURES and such. In the fall, before the first snowfall, if His timing went off as scheduled, He sprayed used motor oil with a hand-pumped outfit to spray the stuff setting about to help...

    Wet stacking after startup

    As Cranetruck says, This is a variable also. Which leads me to wonder about such items as Duralube which claims to adhear to the crank journals and bearing caps, (And everything it touches) for a greater amount of time, before the coating of lubrication is exhausted and not on the surfaces but...

    Which is the most trouble free engine?

    Being an observer and talking to different Truckers, in conversation, they stated that Cat was more costly for parts. Barring any other topic, that inclined me to think that by virtue of that fact alone they would ultimatly be a good choice in strength, yet a bad choice in economic terms as the...

    Wet stacking after startup

    Air pressure is ultimatly unimportant in that it is only needed to run aparatus's that operate in the air system, and are entirely seperate from the oil system, which is VASTLY more important than air supply My suggestion is let the air build slowly, its not anywhere as important as lubrication...

    Wet stacking after startup

    I'm a little stumped here, so I re-read as Westex said, and heres my thoughts. Supose a multifuel takes a certain amount of revolutions after start-up before the oil arives at the galleys and initally starts lubing the bearings. Lets sa this amount of 'crankshaft' revolutions amount to say 600...

    Wet stacking after startup

    I start up and listen for the oil to arrive at he bearings, about 10-12 seconds, at which time it sounds different 'quieter' and after that increase the idle till it is smooth, somewhere about just under 1,000 (if my tach's right), mabe 800 rpm, and idle there for several minuates before...
