Rube Goldberg painting? Is that like an M.C. Escher machine? :popcorn:

Neat setup with the clear plastic tubing. Reminds me of that board game Mousetrap for some reason.

I like the idea of having kieth weld up that one. Practice for welding up the crack in my 816's oil pan. :mrgreen:

For the purposes of just testing the engine, how do you feel about just plugging the hole in the oil pan?

I vote for securing the engine to a stand and run it before installing it in the goat. Also, there is nothing good in Clayton. Only trains and train noises.

Well, I'm willing to help you mess it up whenever you want to give it a try. Are there some overhaul tech manuals we could read?

If that part number 9 needs replacing, how difficult is it to pull the cylinder sleeve on one of these things?

bump... goat aid needed

Could you have air pockets in the radiator? I seem to faintly recall something from an old click and clack show about having to run the engine with the radiator cap off for awhile anytime you replaced the radiator or flushed it.

The goat would GREATLY benefit from a spin on oil filter adapter. Does someone make one? I would imagine someone somewhere has them available, if this engine was used in a bunch of stuff like people tell me it was. Otherwise, I think making one wouldn't be too terribly difficult. I think I...

I can make it up sunday, if that works for you.

Bummer. That seems a bit on the high side for a re-core job.

I was telling a friend of mine about this truck and engine and he seemed to think it was a fairly common engine, used in alot of industrial stuff. Is that true?

Ouch, that radiator is pooched out pretty far on the split side.

I hope not. It is possible, being an aluminum head and how hot it got. There is a method for straightening heads, tho. I think they measure them, then bolt them to a flat piece of steel with shims at various spots depending on how it's warped, then bake it in an oven. That's supposed to...

I know this is a long shot, but will a deuce radiator work on a gamma goat? If so, you can have my parts truck radiator.

Nice!

Hi temp JB weld...

Ugh, that sucks. Let me know when you want to tackle it and I'll come up and give you a hand. I can come up this weekend.

:oops: I should have been watching the temp gauge. Like you said, it took a bit of concentration to drive on the highway... Get Kieth to help you. Do you have a light on a stand? If so, do it at night, when it's 80 degrees rather than 100.
