CONTACT!!!!!!!! Mark, that looks just too fun to fly! Dern radial engine just has a sound all its own,,,randyp

heh heh,,thas too good Tom! I been watching a show on National Geographic lately, dont know what its called, bout a man running a couple of old DC-46's?, i thinks thats what they are called, moving freight and passengers around Alaska in weather bout 30 below. They got big radials. The mechanic goes with them, and several times has had to work on them between stops, outside, brutally cold weather. Hes a young guy, but seems to really know all bout them. They look like a nightmare to wrench on though. randyp

Well, I guess this counts as aviational, I have always been completely fascinated by radial engines, the bigger, the better. I wish I could put one in my truck. Sorry, I know im wierd, cant help or explain it. randyp

Too late Rob, I think the bears fur got stained. randyp

Sounds kinda likely sorta almost maybe valve cover grommets leaking, or gaskets. Look round grommets on top of valve covers,,,,randyp

heh heh,,,Other Dog get through with that, you wont even know yourself. randyp

To "B" or not to "B", that is the question, think i will stick with "B"s. randyp

Arnold will have to answer to a higher authority on that one,,,randyp

Well, he told me it was low key and no big deal, just make repairs and carry on. I was kinda shocked, spected to get my ass handed to me. I was moving excavator couple of hours later and passed him while he had another truck pulled over and he just waved real big. They had 3 tahoes hammering our sleepy lil town today. Killer has a straight pipe, was expecting ticket out of that, but all he said was,,,"sure sounds good",,,heh heh,,randyp

Me n KIller was moving dozer just after daylight this morning, met 3 DOT trooper Black Tahoes coming at me, bumper to bumper. They went by and the last one in line hit his brakes and peeled back around like a Japanese zero. He fell in behind me and I know he was waiting till I got to a safe spot to pull over, yep, sure nuff, there goes the lights flashing like twin 50 calibers, and I was right in his sights. He gave me a right good inspection, told me I had a clearance light out on top, one brake light out on back of truck, inspection sticker out on trailer, and truck also. He asked me if I was aware of all this, I said yes, just been too busy, and he told me truck was actually in better shape that newer ones he inspects sometimes. He asked me several things bout truck and told me he wasnt gonna hassle me over any infractions, cause he liked truck too much. He wrote me a warning and gave me 15 days to make amends and sent me on my way,,,,just my lucky day,,,he was a really nice polite feller though,,,randyp

heh heh heh heh,,,walked right into that one Rob,,,heh heh heh heh,,,,randyp

10,000 psi is bout good nuff for me to do some damage, using porta power oil, not grease. randyp

Oh yeah David, and wear safety glasses when you get to pumping on that porta power, believe me,,,randyp

I bought one Rob, the instructions said to fill it with 10wt oil and smack it, didnt have much luck with it like that. I think I will stick some grease in there. I have had luck using porta powers on them before, taking zert out, screwing fitting in it and porta power though. randyp

heh heh heh,,,That made my day Rob,,,LOL,,,randyp

Thank all of yall very much,,randyp

I buried my first born son on account of that son of a bitch and others like him, wipe em all out, be fine with me. I hope he suffered a lil anyway, may he rot in hell,,,,,,,,randyp

Well, you covered everything real well, cept, I wanna know how noisy it is. Put the ole docimeter next to it and give me a decibel reading please, thank you. Ifn its louder than my wife, will take two. randyp

No M35MACK, they didnt have any Mack trucks, just some CAT haul trucks, some Euclids, and some old Darts. They had one that wasnt any one of those 3, kept it for a spare, wasnt a Mack but I cant remember what it was, all i know it was a piece of sh#t. Matter of fact, somebody had scrawled that across the grill with a paint pen, maybe it really was a piece of sh#t! randyp

Happy Birthday Doug,,cake? what cake? I couldnt stop looking at bootiful woman! What cake? randyp
