We're having an awesome time, goofing off with our friends and so many new MVs to look at! A CCKW rolled in right on front of a new MTV deuce. Jeeps, a homemade Abrams, and the swap meet was really big.
We're going back for a couple hours in the morning, then heading home. We wish we could...
One of a couple different ways.
You can use a cooling system pressure tester. This will replace the radiator cap and introduce pressure into the radiator. Depending upon where the system is failing you may see a coolant leak.
More often, you can remove a spark plug or injector and screw a...
Yes, the 1D theoretically has the upgraded gaskets but after 20+ years of 22:1 compression, they're all gonna' leak. Devilman spoke to a Continental engineer (I think) years ago and was told Continental had filmed the multis at speed (rpms) and you could see the head trying to leave the deck...

In terms of breaking it in, if...
I'd buy a new cam and lifters.
You obviously will have the crank checked and turned/polished if necessary.
I'd have the reciprocating assy. balanced.
I've never paid attention to the multifuel harmonic balancer, but if it's like everything else and has a rubber ring holding the two halves...
Thanks, that's very kind.
Well, we won a crap ton of stuff at Eglin (clintogf should have bought a dually instead of her wimpy 2500 :razz:) so we're trying to decide if we do a "hit and run" and grab our stuff at Eglin and head home, or do we turn it into a long weekend and come to the show...
