    I can see that system on the Crank end but why on the wrist pin too ?

    Opti Overhaul

    It looks like it has been interesting for sure. I wonder what the story/theory/idea is behind no roller cage for the bearings ? What a pain in the ass that must be. Strong magnet when putting them in ? I suppose using any type of grease to hold them in place would be a giant No No . -...

    Cleaning weathered look on inside of Ranger

    That's what I would try first too. seems like it will work good for mst plastic parts but there are some that just sty dull no matter what you try. . If yours is stubborn like some old snowmobile parts that I tried almost everything on then you can rub it down with a mixture of 1/3...

    Boat question.

    I think the key is making sure the engine is sitting level and watching to be sure theres no drain hole blockage . I pull the thermostat cover and pour some rv antifreeze back in just so I sleep better at night.

    Boat question.

    Yea that's the good thing, And the reason I like inboards , I can get a reman. 4.3 marine long block delivered to my door for less than $ 2000 . But the timing is never right , I was going to be at Sakakawea this morning . I should have tore into it with hopes of finding a gasket or a...

    Boat question.

    I'm not sure if I will get the shaft or not but I'll go down swinging if I do , Such nice people I just have a hard time believing it. Unreal that it will run cold with no noticeable issues but at normal operating temp it turns into a gusher. I honestly don't believe a cylinder could pull...

    Boat question.

    Eye, Were the two cracks he had brazed external leaks ? And is that V-6 GM ? I ran it a long time with the muffs after the oil change so I figured I'd have to duplicate the good warm up scenario before I pull the plugs since they are a bearcat to get at. I had to walk away from it for a...

    Boat question.

    Drained when I got home it looked like cream colored thick grease, I've not warmed it up long enough to contaminate the oil a second time. - - - Updated - - - Lake water , This is an open pump and dump open water cooling system. No antifreeze or heat exchanger.

    Barn Wood Projects

    Glad you are making use out of it. A friendly FWIW though is some serious discussions about a safety plan should be included in your project . Hard to tell the structure condition by the pictures but that low corner could decide to sag, shift or fall at any time.

    Barn Wood Projects

    If you have a Hutterite or Mennonite colony near you they might clean it up and make use of it. I saw a colony tearing down a huge barn and I was amazed how efficiently they worked . The men on the roof , Older boys carrying the boards and woman and little kids pulling the nails and they had...

    How many bite?

    I was out on a flat pitching in 4 feet of sandy bottom early spring when the water was dead calm and visibility was great with my $ 20 polarized sunglasses. At times I could see 6 to 10 or more walleyes at once for about two hours there were walleyes within sight , I never caught a one of...

    Sonar interference

    Are your wires close together short ? I read where you can get wire interference. I have a easy access wire loom so I'd like to string them right along side the lowrance wires for a few feet. About half ways, I have a portable case so I can move it around the boat. It's easier to ask...

    Cold blooded 9.9 Mariner

    They each have their personality don't they. One thing I won't do is sit and run the starter till it's hot. I see guys doing that at the dock a lot, It shouldn't be.

    Cold blooded 9.9 Mariner

    I owe you one Eye, I probably would have never figured that one out. I let it run for about 10 minutes last night and this morning it started as soon as I touch the key and idled smooth right away. I set the idle speed down just a tad after it was warmed up good, do they load up at all when...
