mowerman Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 thanks i was thinkinking more of a little sealer to keep them in place while im trying to set them down,,,,ive heard storys on here lately about sealers pushing out from the inside and running down thru the oil pickup and doing damage Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/55/#findComment-573210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the only time it’s ever seen the road. I started every weekend and let it run for about 10 minutes. That’s about the biggest workout it gets. not enough run time 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/55/#findComment-573328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted Thursday at 11:58 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 11:58 AM Well, I started cleaning up one valve cover with a new tank and soap. Stuff works really well. Didn’t get very far yesterday. I did mostly TV ha ha just couldn’t get motivated. No excuses just couldn’t get going.

mowerman Posted Thursday at 08:54 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 08:54 PM Oh my God, talk about a lousy memory years ago, I had a date with a girl first one she wound up puking behind my international scout it happens, but then at the end of the evening she wanted a good night kiss I could not do it. We were friends after that, but I couldn’t really get into her. She wasn’t that cute but I took a while to shake her loose. What are you supposed to tell them when they’re just not that nice to look at.
