Lots of wet rags too 😂

No rear main. Flywheel in stock already resurfaced.

Think you could still do a dump truck in under 8 hours ? I don't believe I could pull it off anymore. Used to be the norm.

The valve doesn't have to open a lot, just bump it off the seat. It's the overcoming the cylinder pressure is the hard part. Open the lash on a 680 or 346 . Go about .100. be wowed about a week (lol) then watch stuff break like housings or solenoids turned to junk

They could do a lot of things to make stuff work better. Problem is most manufacturers have this thing called a board of directors. They don't really care about anything but how much they can make off of the product. Engineering can only produce what budget allows. Stuff did get better as time went on though. Not many guys can complain about performance of a Powerleash. Then there's the lack of maintainance. I rember the 690 had 6 bolts that held them on to the rocker pedestals. If you read the Jacobs literature, they recomended changing them every 300,000 miles. Not many did, then wonder why they had issues with alignment and oil leaks. Or guys would continue driving the truck with the soft plugs out of the rocker shafts until the shafts were actually gouged out and never be able to keep oil in them like was needed. We're spoiled now with these newer engine brakes that exceed 400 horse of retarding power with relatively little maintainance.

I never understood that. The 680s had lots of oil pressure issues on the top.....and some didn't. I don't remember 690 on the E Techs being like that.

The 690 poked the pin through the adjustment on one valve. 690s had power

The 690 has the pin through the bridge. 680s have the legs that hit the bridge

That's a 690

Eggs are in short supply. Long as they're at the beach.....maybe pound sand intead.

Over the years, I've seen a lot of guys do some pretty impresive stuff on this site. No disrespect to any of them, but man.... you blow them all away. God bless you.

I'd be spraying the angle springs with WD40 . Really isn't much else unless the clutch is shot. Sitting does weird stuff to components .

Yes, you are correct. I am however convinced there are indeed people who make statements like that and truly believe themselves. Somebody's making a lot of money from all this insanity and we're the people paying for it (monetarily). It's hard to watch all this. Every day there's stories about these poor illegals just looking for a better life, while our quality of life becomes poorer and poorer. These people are criminals....period. The ones who allow it are criminals. I've paid more for overweight fines than these criminals will ever pay for the crimes they commit. Sure, I'll get called an a44hole for sayig that, but it's true. An illegal kills someone ??? even if they're caught, they're fed, they're warm, they're not contributing a fu#&'n thing to society. There's people make a ton of money from it.

The mixer is pretty nice, no two ways about that.

WTF ???? don't you realize these poor people are just going through a period of settling in and cultural adjustment? I'm sure they're disoriented and confused. If not for them and their actions, how could countless people make a small fortune for helping these newcomers understand the err of their ways. I mean at the end of the week, it's only pennies on the dollar we have to kick in for all this....and a dollar realy isn't worth all that much anymore. I know we won't see the results of all these efforts right away, but the people profiting from all this will, and therein is the silver lining. Don't believe me ??? ask that gomez chick.....she knows.

🤷🏻‍♂️ dog was bite'n everyone for a while. Least sleepy wasn't on a bicycle, woulda been a lot more work.

Commander doesn't even look threatening in that picture.

Me and the guy help'n change it cut the rod off with a torch. Then we started it like that. We got bored wait'n for it to sieze up.

Who could possibly put a price tag on a good trans gender opera ?

I had an ASET throw a rod once. Left a gaping whole in my checking account.

I had an R Model kit that was an AMT a long time ago. Like long enough ago it got put together like a twelve year old did it.

The guy that posted it isn't too far from me , and as others pointed out it looks like some type of Pennsylvania plate. I tried enlarging it, but it just got fuzzy . I think the guy that posted it is a cabover enthusiast too. Safe bet we haven't seen the last of it though. Looks like a nice Cruiseliner.

I see a couple things that make me think that's in Pennsylvania.
