    Oil spraying out exhaust

    Information is in TM 9-2320-361-24-1 WP 0057 00 and in the attached PDF. And let that oil drain out long time and discard it, can not use it as fuel. Put new oil filters. Could look in the oil for the shavings. After repair run it a bit and chage oil and filters again.

    M35a2 air compressor upgrades and air governor leaks?

    At one time in the past I had these in the Deuce, could open a valve and fill them up to 110PSI. Took a couple of whiles but then I could dump both tanks volume into my 1 inch impact to get any lug nut off, lots of air volume. When filled, then they just held it. I did not need that anymore to...

    Spin-on Fuel Filters

    And that was that. Everybody has the most wonderful, easy to change, best fuel filters on their truck now. Everybody put in spin on filters that don't need to be changed anymore due to installation of the "at the tank outlet" 3 micron filters. I expect these engines to run another 50 years.

    Over heating

    OH, and the radiator overflow tube must be clear. With the radiator cap off one should be able to blow air thru that tube, they get plugged up.

    Over heating

    I found a piece of metal "something?" stuck in the spring and a wasted seal ring when looking for why it would never go over 160F°. Corrected that all and now runs at 180F° like it should. TM 9-2320-361-24P Work Package WP 0036 00 figure 35

    Opti-Lube is good stuff. Up to 38% Coleman fuel. White Gas (Petroleum Naphtha) White gas, also called petroleum naphtha, is the generic name for Coleman fuel. ... White gas puts out a high level of heat and, as one of the purest gasses, its lack of additives means that fuel line clogs will...

    post 15 and post 21 It all worked good for my engine. There is nothing bypassed on this engine. If one looks at posted photos one sees a full re-circulation line there thru the original unused "arctic heater" boss. No "dead spaces, unmixed fuel, anywhere. I drilled out the arctic heater boss...
