Thank you for the tips and thoughts on this project. The crankshaft pulley nut had backed off a bit. It takes a 1 3/8" something which I did not have. Once that was located, a little tightening and no more noise. Zout mentioned torque on the nut. How do you lock the engine up enough to get...

Sound is definitely related to RPM, more RPM more noise.

Thank you for the tips. Will check into both of those today. This vehicle has about 13,000 original miles and we did replace the front oil seal a couple years ago, but probably only a couple hundered miles. So something may not have been tightened properly.

Time for the guru's to chime in. It has a sound like a tailpipe rattling on something. Checked that and no noise changes. Put the stethescope on it and the noise sounds like it is coming from the timing chain cover. No noise at the water pump or fuel pump. could I have a loose timing...

Everet has a restored M151 and he probably has one of the nicest that you will see. The guy is a restoration ace. Glad things went well at he Fort today.

OK. We haven't lost a partner yet to one of these expeditions so did not want a first. See you in the morn.

We will make it work but I don't want you going hypothermic before you get here.

Dirty is fine. There probably weren't to many clean motorcycles on the Eastern Front. If you want to disasemble here, bring your stuff and we can stow it in the back of the 5 ton. See you in the AM

RCA understood on the plating issue. I am surprised that they would even license a monster like that through a DOL office in Seattle. They must have had a stroke. When I did the intial licensing on the M54, the difference between regular and historic plates was about 300 dollars. They wanted...

Events go, breakfast, have to do the important stuff first, display, lunch, at my house, bs, parade at 1600 and then everyone is free to do what they like. There is a destruction derby at the fairgrounds followed by a fireworks show. Hope this helps. Talked with an Army NG staff Sgt. today...

Congratulations Mike and family. Way to go team!

Will have something there but am not sure yet. Currently have 5 running MV's. Yippee! Don't worry, none of them are 98 point restorations. All of them except the 42 are in essentially original condition. They are green, they go, and they stop. I do enjoy the 5T and we don't seem to have...

They are still holding on 73 for Wed. the Legion Commander came by today and checked out the M54. He thinks that will be a great platform for his guys, that can't walk the route that well anymore. If the weather is good, we will pull the cargo cover, if not, will roll up the sides. Talked...

Got the rigs detailed out for the 4th today. On Tuesday will make a final run with the grease gun. Took the M54 out for a 20 mile jaunt today and it is running great.

Mike, if you need an engine hoist, I have one of those roll around models that you could certainly use. remember the back issue a few weeks back? As for this baby thing, some people are just too serious. When my daughter was born 27 years ago, there were complications. Baby was fine but mom...

If you feel the need for a prep run, would be glad to have you in Centralia on the 4th. 0800 for breakfast and parade at 1600. display and talk to folks all day.

Remember grasshopper, many people are convicted because they are stupid enough to take pictures of what they are doing. Also, if they can't find you, they can't throw you in jail. :grin:

this post is to start you guys off with a smile. This AM went to my storage lot, where I store my car trailer and a few MV things. Wanted to put the car trailer away. A neighboring business has their employees park down the street and in front of my gate. they are usually pretty good about...

Mike, are you available to come out and play on the fourth? Check out the Centralia thread under events. Peter

Current forecast is for 73 on the 4th. Perfect MV weather. Got a call from the local Legion Commander last night and will meet with him tomorrow about hauling some of his folks that are not up to the walk anymore. The Legion leads the parade with the flag and honor guard. They will then be...
