Mike, when we talked last night, you mentioned the TM recommended breaking the truck in pulling a heavy load. Well, here's an idea!!

Mike, a major achievement!!! Take a break and celebrate!!! 🍷

Will, I'm certain that's on Mike's to do list. If all goes well with the engine run, there will be a BBQ at Mikes barn. Last time I was there he was hiding a Brisket in the Fridge!

Jyd530, hang on to it. Mike has an LDT 465 1D salted away, he might like to have a spare 8V92TA.

Mike, let me know when your going to need Soldier B, and I can sneak over Donner Pass to Dixon for an afternoon. Today the wife and I were at June Lake in the morning and the smoke wasn't to bad, then we started for home later in the day, and the smoke was coming in like the Fog in San Francisco...

Mike, I always replaced that fabric line with fuel specific neoprene line, or braided stainless. In So. Cal. I always used Deering Industries in Long Beach for fuel and hydraulic lines, they do lines for racing aircraft, boats, cars and what not. You might give them a call at 562-595-1668, ask...

Mike your were reading my mind. I was going to give you a call this weekend just to see how things were going with the Detroit, and It's looking good Mike! Just think, at our next MVCC Plymouth Meet, whenever that is? Word is going to get around of how much you accomplished with the 8V92, pretty...

Good job Mike. A step at a time.

Looking good Mike. If you need a Soldier B for anything let me know.

Mike, DO REPLACE that buggered up retainer. I've seen them come unseated and tear up a piston and liner. Other wise, carry on. (y)

Well good. Now that Lori is getting involved things will come together. (y)

Mike, we have a True Value Hardware Store the next town over in Yerington. That's where I usually get my Grade 8, Stainless, Studs etc etc. Usually at Fastenal, if they don't have it in stock they'll order it. I've ordered some pretty odd bolts in the past that they didn't have in stock, and in...

Good job Mike. When this is done and running, I'm going to buy you a bottle of Coppola Wine, your choice. 🍷

Smart to keep everything identified with the blue tape. Makes going back together so much easier. 🔧

Mike, let me know if you can use an extra hand.

Mike we'll make it on the 14th. PM me your address so I can Google it. Adult beverages at the end of the day. I'm not a very good mechanic when I'm seeing double. o_O

Mike, it sounds like your rolling right along. 👍 Mike, I just paid my fee for the April Plymouth event. I'll be at spot 119 at the Fair Grounds from the 13th thru the 18th just like last year. This spot has water & electricity, and my neighboors Dean and Steve have the Tri-Tip...........I'll...

Also 2 thumbs up to Will Wagner for giving you a helping hand. Mighty nice of him. (y) (y)

Mike, how do the heads look? I agree with a previous post, you should get them crack checked. You've come to far to tear it all apart again.

Good job Mike. Looks like your getting all the culprits identified. You should be a Detroit Guru when you get done with this.
