    I use this truck hauling gravel hay and manure in the farm. It runs good. It will haul 5 tons of gravel.

    Never ending head gaskets

    So I just replaced the head gaskets again and so far so good. I put a block of wood under the throttle pedal to help keep my foot out of the firewall 😹.

    Never ending head gaskets

    So I followed the torque specs I found on the technical manual section two years ago. To get the nuts that are on the left side of the head I welded a socket on to a cut down 12 point wrench so I could torque them down. And yes I thought about to much boost being an issue. I mean it might put...

    Never ending head gaskets

    Helppppp!!!! So I’ve replaced two sets of head gaskets on my deuce. The first set blew between the cylinders so it was swapping compression from side to side. The next set pushed the head gasket on the rear head completely out. I used some copper high tach on it. Maybe I should of done...

    I removed the valve cover and all the springs are good. I bared the motor over and they all feel about the same as far as lash goes nothing sloppy or to tight. I ordered the head gasket set. So I’ll see what things look like when I get it apart. This truck gets used a lot in the farm. I...

    I’ll Play with line more today. It always smoked black. I bypassed the fuel density regulator and it gets good boost. There is fuel there but didn’t seem like it sprays out like the other cylinders
