Valve stems rot more quickly than tires in some cases. The valve cores also develop leaks for no apparent reason.

Never mind, that's a bit too far north for me to go up there and then west. Would have liked to help.

Where is hooks? I'm willing to help if it is closer to me.

I sold my jeep Cherokee three days after I got my deuce home. It is now my daily driver, which is funny because it actually gets better fuel mileage.

Of course, worn/ broken rings, or a piston that all the rings have had the gaps lined up on will cause it too. Only seen that happen once.

Ccv tower= crank case vent tower. Probably not the proper name for it but that's what I call it. The part that joins both of the valve covers together on top and routes the vapor from both into the slobber tube. There should also be shields inside the valve covers that keep oil from splashing...

Pull the valve covers and clean out all the buildup and gunk, also clean the ccv tower and hose out. If that doesn't do it then you have ring/ cylinder issues.

I second all of the above.

It works for you, run with it! It doesn't look bad. Kinda looks like a field mod.

Filter can was half empty because there was no fuel coming from the tank pump to fill the void. Did you check the fuse on top of the pump?

Sweet. Good job man.

Replace that in tank pump. Or put an air fitting on the tank so you can use air pressure from the truck or another truck to prime the fuel system when it leaks down like that.

I would have it in a nitrogen purged glass enclosure, but I suppose there is no fun in that.

All I have to say is watch out for the uninsured motorists. There are ( obviously) no replacement body parts, much less a whole replacement vehicle for what you have. I would equate driving that around town to taking the Spruce Goose out for a spin. A heartache waiting to happen. Can you put a...

Been following this thread closely and am so glad to hear that you got her fixed and on the road again! Take care of that truck. I'm sure it is so important to your father because that is the last thing he was able to share with you before he got down in health. Don't ever get rid of it, you...

Curious as to whether this worked or not.

I recovered my deuce this week.

Is the pop off valve stuck open?

That's what I said... Maybe I need to be more clear... Lol

Ideally you would remove the line at the transmission and blow air from there out. That is what is intended.
