Joey Mack Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Geoff,, I thank you for that.. I would like to give you 'first refusal'.. My engine runs strong and only weeps a little oil on the left side in little spots. Go get 'em !!

Geoff Weeks Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I've got two sets but three engines for two trucks. So I am in no rush either. Here is another that show the contents https://www.mechanicsurplus.com/products/5698909517 Quite a jump in price, however. Think on it, the seller will not be around for a week. If by next weekend you still don't want it, I will likely decide its cheap enough to have on hand. Gasket sets and main bearing are the hardest thing to find for these engines. Oddly oil pumps seam to come up often either complete or kits. When I find cheap spares, I often get them. Finding some when you have a need can be hard and expensive.

mrsmackpaul Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The blasting cabinet really is a good thing, I bought one some time ago and promptly modified it Better lightning is a must and Ill change the crappy perspex screen for a laminated glass screen I think next They really do help clean things up I also bought a small one on wheels and it really hooks right in My son got me onto a big ass compressor from where he works It's 2500 km away but I figure it's a good excuse to go for a drive and say hello Paul 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/73/#findComment-540831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 mine has a replaceable window,, 'Auto Glass'.. I bought mylar sheets for it, so i paste a mylar sheet on the glass to protect it. then replace it when its worn out.. I also do not aim the gun towards the window... I got it for free.. they were going to scrap it.. I put $200.00 USD into it and about 2 hours of labor.. It works great, and the lighting is spot on.. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/73/#findComment-540833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
