Glad this is all coming together nicely. Sounds good.

Bearing is exactly what I remembered (didn’t post in case I was wrong) it’s a 6305. RLD or 2RS, depending on what shrouding but as long as it’s a 6305 sealed both sides your should be good. (Somebody can chime in what the correct suffix is or maybe it’s brand specific) I did get a timken 305SS...

Ill get the part number tomorrow. Sounds like I need to tour your garage/shop instead of the other way around. Ive removed engine and gen as one unit without removing the electronics side before, for the hassle I dont think its worth the struggle so future units I just take the front cab...

Replace the rotor bearing while you are at it and remove all desert sand in the bottom of the genhead. I actually posted a thread about replacing that without removing the engine but if you area already doing that then should be a lot less cursing in your future...

That being said, what do you and/or experts that were to perform the loading, what would be a safe step for loading up a generator to 100%? is 2000watt resolution too big of a jump when going from 0-10k? Reason why I am asking is the swift-e that I have involves a whole lot more switch toggles...

So you are saying this about the reason for the rocker and not the reason for the valve kissing the piston right?

I hereby nominate this thread "fastest growing thread of the year" rofl... Most threads a few posts a day, this one is a few pages a day. I will add that this thread is becoming the 1 stop shop for all engine work. It is compelling me to rebuild a waterlogged spare I have laying around...

I full agree with this. I dont like spreading bad words about people but it would likely do the community a favor (esp here in florida where since Irma everybody wants a generator) to not get burned.

The roll pin sleeve thingy for the vacuum that I was talking about or something else? I have a trashed engine (water in exhaust) that ive been sitting on however I dont know if I want to start parting it out (I havent pulled the cover or head to see if its salvagable yet, its last on my list)...

When I had a few engines apart I figured out how these get their vacuum. There are some passages in the head (Post #237, picture 1) that connect the tops of all the valve covers to the intake. Its that hollow dowel pin / roll sleeve that half are obscured in the photo by the springs. The valve...
