Congrats but you can't tease like that. Pics or it didn't happen.

Another thing about the IP and lube. Unlike most conventional diesels, the multifuel injection pump has an oil line feeding oil to it for lube. Adding lubricity to the fuel is always a good idea but the engineers considered that when they designed this engine.

Thinking aloud here. Perhaps the the valve bent a bit and tweaked the seat. I would think that if the valve only was bent, the low part of the valve would wear off the marker all the way around as it was twisted in the seat. I realize that it's out of warranty but it might be something GEP...

Looks like a seat issue. Definitely a low spot. Is your other head a GEP head? If not maybe see what it would cost to have your current head reworked.

Try this. Use a marker and color in the seat surface of the valve and slide it back in and spin it like you were lapping it in then take a look at the wear marks in the marker stuff. If the valve isn't bent or the surface warped or if the seat checks out OK perhaps it's a weak spring.

First read this for some spirited discussion! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?30821-Are-all-Dueces-Multifuel&highlight=multifuel Then read this. The OP couldn't be convinced by the masses so he reached out to MAN. He was surprised to find out that he was wrong...

You can shorten a deuce into a pickup size vehicle but it's no pickup. With proper planning it can be bobbed in a weekend. We have tossed around the idea of bobbing one at a rally in the past. There is lots of prep work that can be accomplished while the truck is still on the road. I used my...

3 dozen days to go. Hope everyone is getting their stuff in order!

I'll be there earlier when I'm retired. Still working for a living. Then again, if the rally was in my back yard, I might be the first one there. LOL

Think I'd chuck that valve up in a drill and see it its got a little tweak or bend. The seat wear looks odd to me.

The legs stay attached to that knuckle that you dug out. You just swing them up and slide them in the housing. If memory serves me correct, there is a simple 1/2" pin that slides through the pipe and right through one of the holes in the bottom of the stiff leg. The pin that secures the...

I think I'd have a super close look at the valve springs too.

I arrived on Wednesday. I can offer proof if necessary.

Few random pics

Man, I wonder if that valve has an ever so slight bend in it? Odd.

You can do that when you arrive after the rally is half over.

The crank is not BII. Check the back of the bed, between the tail lights and the tires. You should find the tubes for the stiff legs. The other end that those pin to are captured in the tube.

There used to be adjustable flood lights there!

Your left side pole is stock and as you said, the right side had some bastardization to it. The trunion has tabs on each round end that slide through the keyways. Once you have the trunion through both, you simply rotate it to lock it in place. The block pulley is pinned to that with a 1" pin. I...
